Stephen King says: "I simply think that there are things in this world that are relics. We have unsettling remnants of Atlantis. They have found things off Bermuda, great walls and things of that sort. This seems to indicate that there were races and cultures that went before us. And to me, that's an unsettling idea." 🧵⬇️

We're counting the days until the next Writing the Occult, so figured it's time we do a little relics roll call - a way to introduce you to some of the weird objects from history that are venerated or feared. And why not start with the literal head of Saint John the Baptist? 🧵⬇️

Remember how we said land doesn't have to be pristine and green for it to inspire you creatively? Into Writing the Occult: Connection to Land comes Kerry Hadley-Price to talk about the inspiration she finds in England's industrial heartlands. 🧵⬇️
