Tilly Simms hadn’t really enjoyed the celebrations of the festival of Día de los Muertos as she had been very troubled by the strange behaviour of a small furry cat who prowls his way through the sleepy hamlet of All Hallows…
Oh! Those horrors of indigestion!
With a pinch of ‘Herb’ suspended in resin, labelled in parchment and finished with paper tied with old wire – this little vial will add a perfect finishing touch to YOUR fantastical miniature world…
Think you know ALL about the humble Garlic?
From the shelves of the ‘Monsignor Suárez Vampyre Slayer Emporium’ in the All Hallows Hamlet – this is an exclusive remedy created by the Monsignor himself AND guaranteed to see off the most determined of Vampyres!
On offer and measuring just 2.5 cm is a miniature glass vial of ‘Monsignor Suárez Vampyre Oil’…
Did YOU know that there are MANY different ways of seeing off a vampyre?
Although Tilly Simms has had plenty of time in which to enjoy a little private time in her new home – I have been very busy with the preparations for her first retail foray at the All Hallows Hamlet although it hasn’t been quite the shopping trip she had imagined…
And although MY summer was remembered as being the stuff of nightmares with interrupted plans, a twisted spine and torn nerves; it is fortunate that York enjoyed something of an Indian summer throughout last September and taking advantage of the balmy weather; there was plenty of activity at the end of my garden for with the door to my Den open, I indulged in a dream of mine with the creation of another fantasy structure for the All Hallows Hamlet…

For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed a fascination with (and a sneaky regard!) for these undead creatures of folklore and mythology.
However, as much as I appreciate that this interest of mine will not be shared by everybody and so in keeping with the ideas of ‘mischief’ and the ‘incomprehensible’ that Scoffern has attributed to the Vampyre – I have created something of a fantastical store which seeks to offer those essential accoutrements for any discerning hunter or slayer of the undead…
Be reassured that there is at LEAST one faery who can be found skipping about within the stone walls surrounding the ancient City of York AND although at first glance, she may be mistaken for just another conventional human – appearances can be deceptive!
Yes, dear reader, it IS true – the Yorvik Faerie is now NO more!
