Michael Chislett - The Whistle Thing: [...] Besides the obvious precursor, maybe something of of Ramsey Campbell's Litter, too, which is not to suggest Mr. Chislett brings nothing of his own to the party. Ultimately - and through little fault of the male lead - The Whistle Thing strikes me as a feel-good love story with cracking supernatural episodes. Really like this story. As one grows older one welcomes more a happy ending (or perhaps it's just me). "How Love came to Professor Guildea", which had fuelled a fascinating thread, kept coming to my mind while I read it. Certainly need to revisit that tale!

A very finely shot close-up of some details on the Cybele sacred nutcracker (!) can be seen here, towards the end of this short segment of the web series "Pagan London": www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHpi0r95i8Echeers, H.

Yes Miss Scarlett, last night I watched all 12 of the episodes. I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the segments were only 2 to 3 minutes long. The last one on the Thames as a "strong brown god" was beautifully filmed, and I think I'll revisit that one soon. There's quite a bit more to say on this topic regarding Pagan London, but the author/presenter chose unusual features and facets and I very much like what he did. He made the most of an abbreviated format, and made good use of the collections of the Museum of London (which seems to have been one of the sponsors). This sequence only involves 3 segments--two of them are "Corpse on the Tube" and "London's Weirdest Ghost Stories" (less than five minutes long), and might interest you. I have not gotten round to looking at these yet. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz1JuTRxlXhLZ7ufBZzZxXMJUAvQ-3ARlcheers, Hel
