The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlos Collodi

Sadly, my original copy of this book, already degraded by time, was ruined after last year's house fire.

To readers interested in the darkness inherent within the tale, I highly recommend having a read of my original blog post about the book. Comparing the images in that post with those in this post also highlights how a book will deteriorate over time without care!

Regular readers of Pixie-Led will already be aware of how scary I find this particular book. As such, it will definitely feature in the the first issue of my Pixie-Led zine, which I plan on writing, producing and publish some time in 2026...

Scary Finally

I'll keep any further chat on Pinocchio for the future zine. But I will leave you with a question. Am I alone in finding this particular edition of Pinocchio to be the best version of the tale?

I managed to add all the images I wanted onto the zine today. I even put them in order. I still have to decide upon the size each image will appear and their position on each page. I also need to do all the writing. I am pleased with where I am now in relation to it publishing date.

In other news. Check out the progress on my poorly eyelid. As the swelling goes down, the bruising is slipping down my chops lol.

Like an Anthony Gormley

Settled to bed a little earlier last night as I wanted to play some mental images of my next ghost story to work out the full plot and story details. Turns out its a tight, 3 scene tale, called 'Like an Anthony Gormly'.
