Americana? Yes, Americana music including alt-country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass, blues and Celtic flavoured tracks. (And don't let your autocorrect swap out the final "a" for an "o" – it's music not black coffee!) More news to follow but I'm shortly going to be launching an Americana radio show PLUS this site will have a section dedicated to Americana music and posts will include links to music videos. Oh yes, and I'll also be covering new releases so if you've an album you'd like mentioning, please get in touch.

Episode #30 - 16th August of the Weird Tales Radio Show podcast is our Mischievous Faeries edition and, along with recounting the legends and folklore of the Willy Howe barrow, we look at the latest reports that pyramids have mystical powers, and have a recipe for using spells to magic up money.​

​Available on iTunes and multiple podcasting platforms, as well as the player below.

This is the last Grievous Angel post.

It's been a long and intriguing ride since I launched the Grievous Angel science fiction and fantasy flash fiction and poetry zine in June 2014. Since then we have published over 500 separate stories and poems (and paid contributor fees at pro rates) including many, many scifaiku and at least one ghazal.

It has however always been a one-man-band labour of love for me and I feel I now need a new project or two to reenergize my personal creative batteries, so the time has come to bring the curtain down on the Angel.

Thank you for all your support and I wish you every success in finding new homes for your work.

What happens next?

Our play-out video is a piece of quaintly English humour from the mid-1960s featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

Episode #29 - 9th August of the Weird Tales Radio Show podcast is our Mythbusting in the Waveney Valley edition and, along with two Medieval Ghosts for August, we look at the tale of Robert Johnson - the Delta blues legend and founder member of the Forever 27 Club, and go Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park with Tom Lehrer.
