Peace
Sunday, 24 March, 2024
Peace. My favourite thing in the world right now.
We decided we needed a day away from the house today. And with beautiful sunshine being the order of the day, I enjoyed a nice little sit down outside the caravan in the afternoon :)
Merry Christmas One and All

Reading Caracal. Reaching the part where Bertie gets left out in the dark and rain without his supper... |
The book, dedicated wholly to Guy, is planned to be the first in a series of zines/books celebrating scary storytelling. I've already got an idea for issue 2 percolating in my head (something along the lines of eerie children's books) so I think it's time to crack on with Issue One. Thanks Guy, you've truly entertained me throughout 2023.
Guy N Smith - Caracal
Sunday, 19 November 2023
Starting my 20th and last GNS book of 2023. It's been a long and entertaining journey. Thanks to the lovely people on the Guy N Smith Appreciation FB Group, including Guy's wonderful family, for making the reads a hell of a lot richer, and helping me get hold of some of his very rare books. Chuffed I kept to my New Year's resolution to devote my reading year to Guy ☺️Liver News

My liver scan at the hospital gave me good news so I can continue on my low dose chemotherapy to help my condition. The walk to hospital yielded some nice view too. Even the waiting room in the hospital was cool.The last remaining leaves of Autumn |
Relaxed in the evening with a good book (Guy N Smith's Nightspawn):
GNS: Finishing Deadbeat
Even though it was a busy out-and-about weekend, I was determined to finish this fascinating read before Monday...
It's September

GNS Update
August 24, 2023
It's been a busy, and non too cheap, week here on the GNS front. First of all, I managed to grab these four fighters from a previous collector, which included that scarce and probably rarest GNS to find in today's market - Deadbeat.
The have now found their new home snuggled against other classics from "the great scribbler", including Guy's autobiography, which I was offered the day after I purchased above.
Unfortunately, the above titled isn't signed, so if anyone out there reading this has a signed copy they think might find a good home with me, please let me know.
Anyway, here's a pic of my GNS collection as it stands today. This includes all of his books, chapbooks, fanzines and actual hand-written manuscripts from the writer. For those interested in a more in-depth guide to my collection, please click here: https://www.pixie-led.co.uk/p/1.html
Coincidentally, I finished reading my 15th GNS book today. And so I pulled my 16th read from the shelves above:
I sourced this book a few months back from an online USA thrift shop. And now it's time to open it's cover on this side of the Atlantic and delve into another of Guy's dark work of horror fiction...

Last Day
Monday, May 29, 2023
Last day of our 1st holiday of the year. I've ticked everything off on my To Do list for May so today is just a day for chilling and acclimatising myself to the thought of returning to the office tomorrow. Still, I'm off again soon enough for a day-long reccy of somewhere I have long since wanted to explore - watch this space...

Time for book 14 of my 2023 GNSathon. After my enjoyment of Sabat 1, I though I had to stay with the man for his next dark adventure:
