October is my December and Halloween my New Year

October is my favourite month, and although it sounds stereotypical of me, a Goth that loves Halloween, I can't help that child-like feeling when all the goodies start appearing in the shops and everything is available in black and orange.

I find myself drawn to the eerie bits of plastic and skull decorated accessories like a moth to a flame and am unable to exercise control over what gets piled in my shopping basket... I've been eating chocolate eyeballs all week!

For me this is the holiday season. The first of October marks the beginnings of the rituals and first flurry of activity. My most beloved annual occasions are all squeezed into this month; the ever expanding Halloween Ball and the obligatory Whitby Goth Festival.

...and I'm starting to feel the customary strain and urgency of getting ready for everything laced with the excitement and eagerness to make it better than last year.

It's just 3 weeks to Whitby and the Sock Horror road show, and a frightening 2 weeks until the Halloween Ball and I have so much to do; my head is filled with ideas and I've so many lists of jobs to complete that I don't know what to tackle first.

Interesting times...

The Sock Horror Investigation Team have had a very intensive few weeks filled with copious amounts of research and intense debate, but we are coming to a point where we can see the fruits of our labour and show you some of our developments.

Prof Doodlemonkie and myself are delighted to be able to anounce the release of our second series of essays titled Sockmosis: Survival of the Fittest, which are currently in print and will be available from all good book stores (and obviously ourselves) within the next few weeks.

Here is a sneaky peak at the new book. If you would like to learn more about Survival of the Fittest or our other publications please visit our Website.


In addition to the new book we have some new creatures for you. These will be added to the website over the next few days so keep a look out for these deadly sock liberators:


I would also like to thank all those who came fo see us at Preston today.

Grab 'em while you can...

New Horrors available

At last the latest Horrors are available though our store.

There will be more going up later this week. Please also check out our Etsy store as more creatures will be going up daily.

Also don't forget that we are at the Fresh market in Preston this coming Sunday the 28th.

This time the market coincides with 'It's PRESTon the Move' which will include fun runs, Grandprix and cycling activities along with Bataala Samba band, The one voice chior and free draw graffiti event.

Be sure to get there early!

It's an epidemic!

Grab your garb and join the hunt!

The last 2 weeks has seen me feverishly laying traps in a bid to snare some fresh meat...luckily the catch has been fruitful and I'll be presenting some new specimens to you soon.

As a taster, here is one of the lucky ones...
