Badger

Hi, I'm Badger, I live in Montpelier, near the station. I'm a scorpio, I grow my own herbs, I like making things and I'm gender fluid (any pronouns).
I made a little collage zine that you can find in some of the little community libraries around my neighbourhood, and you can also read it here. It's about being in love with someone who is bad for you.

Choose Horror and Hysteria

Besides that, I've written some bits about media I consume and events I enjoy. Thanks for visiting my page.

Haverscroft
Cut & Paste Collage Club
The Haunting of Alma Fielding

This one was available through BorrowBox, which is an e-book library that often has long waiting times for popular books, so you end up reading just whatever looks interesting while you're waiting.
Haverscroft is a haunted house tale about a woman who is recovering from a mental health crisis and is dragged out to the sticks by her unforgivable jerk of a husband to a large country house-and-estate with their two adorable children. He promptly disappears back to the city for work, leaving her and the kids in the obviously haunted house.
A key question in any haunted house tale is this: why don't they just move out? Some variations on the theme handle this better than others. The reason here is, "This house gives me the creeps, but I have to prove to my husband (and his mother) that I'm not crazy anymore, so I'll just close the door to the ghost's room and hope we'll be ok." That works... up to a point.
The point where it stops working? One night, the chimney which has been producing creepy knocking noises the whole time falls down tearing a massive hole in the roof. Does she leave? No, they put up a tarp.

Hey, crazy lady! You have a perfectly rational reason here to leave the house for literally anywhere else. You cannot heat the place. God knows when the next bit of roof is going to collapse in. Your children aren't safe. Tell your asshole husband he is crazy if he expects you to stay in that rickety, depressing old deathtrap. Why are you there?

LEAVE!

Second Wednesday of the month, check it’s on at: PRSC Events
PRSC "The Space" 17-25 Jamaica Street, BS2 8JP Bristol, UK

I’ve been to PRSCs Collage Club twice, and I’ve had a good time twice. They provide boxes of magazines, newspaper, assorted printed stuff and you can do what you want with them.
This time, I made some mini zine pages. I was planning to make a zine about how Instagram is eating your brain and you should leave, but decided against that at the last minute. With no plan whatsoever, I just cut interesting words out of magazine pages for a while, and made ransom note poetry.
It turned into a zine after all. The vibe at Cut & Paste collage club is chill, you can talk to people or just do your own thing, and it’s on for long enough to really get stuck in, or to drop in for part of it and do something small.

Exhaustively (exhaustingly) detailed review of a paranormal investigation from interbellum London. Weird book, it draws you in with all these seemingly supernatural happenings, and all the while you're like, "But she's faking, right? This is clearly fake?!" I guess I won't spoil it. It's from a real life report of an actual haunting.
