"...we should pass over all biographies of 'the good and the great,' while we search carefully the slight records of wretches who died in prison, in Bedlam, or upon the gallows."

Weekend Link Dump

 



Welcome to this week's Link Dump, where the Strange Company HQ staffers wish you a lucky Friday the 13th!






Watch out for the Beast of Bladenboro!

J.R.R. Tolkien and Catholicism.

A book for a 15th century prince.

A tale of love and revenge in medieval Cyprus.

The enigma of Saki, one of my favorite short-story writers.

Some object is speeding towards our planet, and scientists have no idea what it is.  Obviously, not to worry.

An American literary festival in France.

When ghosts cause real estate shortages.

The spider that caused a dancing mania.

Most of human history might be underwater.

The first printed nursery rhymes.

We might find ourselves talking to birds.  Poor birds.

The terrifying world of sleep paralysis.  Oddly, that used to happen to me fairly often when I was very young, but never since.

Something is taking a weird flight around our solar system.

Souvenir hunting may go a long way back.

Ancient Egypt's "braided lady."

When Charles Dickens was summoned to an inquest.

The "Kongolese Joan of Arc."

When you almost bomb your own troops.

Vindication for an ancient historian.

The mystery of a vanishing plane.

Solving the mystery of a 400 year old padlock.

Yet another relationship ends with murder.

That's all for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll look at a young woman's very disturbing death.  In the meantime, here's ABBA.  Because why not?
