INTERVIEWER: People usually use [the term “elevated horror”] to refer to A24’s movies, horror that’s very heavy on the metaphorical. Hereditary, Midsommar, movies like that.

Honey? We need to talk.
I wanted 15 Thornhill Road to be perfect for us. We’ve put so much into this move, and I think that we wanted it to work so badly that we’re pretending nothing’s wrong. But the signs are all there.

Honey. I don’t think our haunting is elevated.

On Wednesday, Nigel Farage stood up in Parliament to try and pass legislation which, if successful, would have removed the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights.

The advance of centrist parties in the Dutch elections will not be enough to produce a new stable governing coalition, argues Chris Keulemans
I get to The Garlic Not, and the place is packed with regulars. I decide to sit at the bar, and an old man with the fewest teeth I’ve ever seen hands me a menu.
“For a virgin as pure as you—on the house,” he says and passes me a goblet of something neon green. I take a sip, and it’s not half bad. I order the lamb alfredo and decide not to correct him on the weird virgin thing.
I’ve only been in Coffins Crest, Transylvania, for three days, and the omnipresent fog, eerie wind chimes, and sinking feeling that something horrible is about to happen is starting to feel normal.
I take a sip of my goblet cocktail and wonder how I’ll tell Historic Castles Magazine that someone else is also here to cover the famous castle.

In the Wilcannia cemetery a lot of plastic is on display. This cemetery is an important local monument not because it celebrates the working class, because it doesn’t. Unlike in Broken Hill, there are no tourist guides to the cemetery, no famous people that I know of. I camped on the river in Wilcannia, often […]

To understand the rise of Catherine Connolly — the recently elected left-wing president of Ireland — it’s important to grasp how profoundly Irish politics has shifted over the last two decades.
