Literary criticism, recommendations and whimsy from a devotee of the story in all its forms. Updates Fridays and every other Wednesday. All views my own, or thereabouts.

Alys Earl

Alys Earl: Alys is the last Romantic Poet. When not reading, they are writing. If doing neither, then you'll find them brewing wine, researching folklore or wasting time on Twitter. These currently neglected blogs deal with books, literary culture, vampires, folklore and historical curiosity. There is probably going to be quite a bit of swearing. Bewildered by Google+ (why would you do that?) you can normally find them lurking in the backwaters of Twitter, @alysdragon Their debut novel, Time's Fool, is currently crowdfunding at https://unbound.com/books/times-fool
