Notes:<\/p>\n

1. Written between February 2025 and June 2025<\/em>
\n2. And illustrated in June 2025<\/em>
\n3. Originally on little cards, the words on one side, the pictures on the other.<\/em>
\n4. Like miniature tarot cards or something<\/em>
\n5. If tarot cards came with poems on them<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Which I presume they don’t<\/em>
\n7. Anyway, I apologise for the abject quality of a few of the illustrations<\/em>
\n8. Especially the attempt at an aerial view of the field over the park<\/em>
\n9. And also the magician in his hat<\/em>
\n10. And maybe even all of the others<\/em>
\n11. (I quite like the crow though)<\/em>
\n12. And the slightly terrible whirlwind one is a tribute to this picture of a terrifying tornado in The Citadel Of Chaos<\/a>.<\/em>
\n13. Then again everything I do<\/a> is a tribute to The Citadel Of Chaos<\/em>
\n14. Also everything here was largely inspired by Leonora Carrington<\/a>‘s Beasts series<\/a><\/em>
\n15. Which I would spend hours looking at every couple of days<\/em>
\n16. In an astonishingly good exhibition<\/a> at Firstsite in Colchester<\/em>
\n17. That ran through most of the bleakness of last winter<\/em>
\n18. Also if you’ve found yourself all the way down here, you can download a pdf\/ebook of this below<\/em><\/p>\n

A Book Of Ghosts<\/a><\/p>\n
