THE WYNDHAM FACTOR

"All persons and institutions in this story are entirely mythical"

I've been re-reading some of my old John Wyndham paperbacks recently. The eerie supernatural shit that goes on in them makes me think of all the strange shit that gets posted at the Idiot's Guide and it's satellite blogs. Building modern myths in seemingly sleepy, inconsequential settings around the West Country...tales of unaccountable shared memory syndrome; multiple personality disorders; twisted visions conjured from childhood ephemera; blurry, drunken anecdotes from times gone by raised to the level of fable; wraith-like peripheral characters who's meer silence is unnerving...





Psychbloke's convinced me to attend the forthcoming Fall gig at the Bierkeller, so it's looks like I might actually have to meet these people for real - the very thought of which is, frankly, creeping me out...
