Go-to hot drink? Black coffee in the mornings, tea in the evenings. Hot chocolate on particularly frosty mornings, or if there's snow.
What book gets you into the cosy spirit? John Masefield's The Box of Delights, despite it being technically set at Christmas.
Favourite costume as a child? We didn't ever really have Hallowe'en costumes as kids, just masks. I had a full-head rubber zombie mask I saved up for, though, of which I was very fond.
What woodland animal do you connect to on an emotional level? Badgers. Always badgers.
Film that gets you in the spooky spirit? Nightmare Before Christmas, very definitely.
Favourite tasty treat to bake? I am not a good baker, yet. I can muster chocolate chip cookies, though, so that'll do.
Do you fantasise about falling in love with a hot vampire or sickly ghost?. I do not. The undead are for armies and world takeover, not romance.
The scent you want filling your room? I have a tar candle I got in Helsinki last Christmas. It has an excellent slightly wood-smokey, slightly darker scent. It is the best scent.
Pick a date- gingerbread biscuit decorating, pumpkin patch, hunting through a book shop, popcorn and spooky films? Hunting through a bookshop. I mean, there isn't even any competition in that list.
If you were a coffee syrup or spice which would you be? Tar syrup. It's a real thing. You can get it in Finland.
Any ghostly encounters? A whole load of minor things. But the one that sticks most in my head is Loftus Hall, near Hook Head. Very little specific about it, but I absolutely could not stay in the building, and it gives me the cold shudders every time I pass by it.
Favourite time of day during the cinnamon season? Sunrise, if there's frost. Otherwise, dusk.
