We also reference this @cbthorburn.bsky.social classic, when discussing the inordinately sexy dwarf on the original 1960 cover of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen.

Alan Garner's Boneland is a fascinating attempt to do roughly the same thing with Weirdstone and Gomrath.

Alan Garner is 91 today. A brilliant and unique author. His books have inspired and enchanted me since I read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen at the age of 11. Here is my treasured copy of Red Shift. The Le Guin quote on the cover is wholly accurate.

Is this the worst horror novel ever written? In the latest episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read That, we discover what might be the best bad book in the world. (And we *also* read Alan Garner's folk-horror classic The Weirdstone of Brisingamen.)

Weirdstone and Moon of Gomrath were both formative for me.
(I really enjoyed the decades-later third book, Boneland, too.)

The unpredictable properties of #Mordheim wyrdstone is that it can twist objects. Thus its other name, weirdstone. Such as bringing evil, sentient tomes to life. #miniaturepainting #tabletopgaming #rpg #dnd #minioainting

Now that the fimbulwinter is upon us it's time to dig out The Weirdstone of Brisingamen again and stay alert for svarts and the morthbrood.
First read on a Christmas Eve many years ago, not many books ever thrilled me as much as this one.

Intrigued to learn that the building I suspect might be the inspiration for Highmost Redmanhey in Alan Garner's Weirdstone of Brisingamen has been purchased. Just spoke to the landowner who is intent on conserving it.

I love the stories by British fantasy author Alan Garner. Especially "The Weirdstone of Brisingamen".
Would also recommend Ekaterina Sedia and K.J. Parker (The Siege 1&2).
