Edward Andrews-HodgsonI really enjoyed #TheDarkIsReading on twitter a few years ago. Is anyone else starting #TheDarkIsRising ? I'll be reading the first chapter and listening to the BBC Radio version with my 9 year old - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvp7
I can see that Robert McFarland who started it on Twitter is doing it again on bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/robgmacfarlane.bsky.social/post/3ldr4vwyupc2g

“When the dark comes rising, six shall turn it back…” It’s 20 Dec—Winter Solstice Eve—& the day Susan Cooper’s great, cult novel The Dark Is Rising opens. Simon McBurney & I co-adapted a 12-part audio-drama of Susan’s novel. You can listen along, an ep a day, here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvp7?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
Midwinter’s Eve
This night will be bad, and tomorrow will be beyond imagining.
First day read. Lots of introductions, sat up and atmosphere. And a crow breaking through a roof light.
No snow for us here this year!
Char@edward I didn't know there was a BBC version. I will definitely be listening.
