Undefined Boundary: The Journal of Psychick Albion

I’m very proud to have an article in this interesting and diverse selection of essays that explores the relationship between landscape, place, and the British visionary tradition.

My contribution focuses on the film Penda’s Pen (1974), written by David Rudkin and directed by Alan Clark. Entitled “The Magical Praxis and Politics of Penda’s Fen“, it explores the film’s depiction of magick as a means of political resistance and suggests how its themes are maybe even more relevant today than in the 1970s.

Copies can be obtained from the publisher, Temporal Boundary Press, alongside other interesting publications.

Penda’s Fen was also the topic of OEITH #119: A Once and Future King.

In Conversation with Conner Habib

Looking forward to meeting and appearing in conversation with Conner Habib at Treadwell’s, London (7pm, Thursday 8th September).

Conner will be launching his new novel, Hawk Mountain, the story of what happens when a schoolteacher’s life is interrupted by the re-appearance of his high school bully. It’s a tense and beautifully-written exploration of the dark side of innocence and the destructive potential of love. I was blown away by it, and highly recommend it.

Conner Habib: author and podcast host of Against Everyone with Conner Habib.

I’m looking forwards to exploring with Conner how his occult interests have shaped the themes of his novel and his approach to writing. A drinks party and book-signing will follow the talk.

At the time of writing, in-person tickets are still available (£5) and the event will also be streamed online. See the Treadwell’s website for details. Maybe I’ll see you there!
