And now, for something completely non-electoral:
The Guardian is running what is nominally a review of the new Tartarus Books collection of Arthur Machen stories, but which is actually much more a history of Machen.
If you’re into 19th century weird fiction, or you’ve heard of Machen’s “The Great God Pan” (or perhaps especially if you haven’t) you should check it out.
This might be my favourite bit:
Machen lived out his impoverished, declining years in Amersham where the locals in the King’s Arms still remember his inexhaustible supply of baffling anecdotes.
