Against the backdrop of an urgent climate crisis, Farm Aid 2022 highlighted both the ways that family farmers in North Carolina, the Southeast and across the country are impacted by this crisis and the positive ways in which they are addressing it―sequestering carbon and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
At the sold-out festival at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, North Carolina, Farm Aid President and Founder Willie Nelson praised family farmers for displaying tenacity and grit in the midst of mounting climate-related obstacles.
“By bringing Farm Aid back to North Carolina we can showcase what family farmers do to benefit everyone, thanks to their on-farm practices,” said Nelson. “Family farmers have an intimate relationship with the earth’s soil and water. By investing in the long-term health of our soil, water and climate, farmers give back to the land that brings good food to all of us.

The BFI's Gothic season is about more than just nostalgia – in an era of profound insecurity, horror seems urgent again
This week, the British Film Institute launches its Gothic season, its largest-ever programme of films, with events stretching across the country. It is just one sign of a new sense of respectability for a genre that was once simply ignored, or else became the object of moral panic and demands for its corrupting images to be censored.
We have come a long way since the "video nasty" panic of the early 1980s, when the British Board of Film Classification seemed incapable of laughing at the great comic masterpiece, The Evil Dead, and simply banned it. Much nastier Italian horror films were cut to shreds by censors, only succeeding in producing a feverish black market of pirate copies.
Now the BFI will welcome Dario Argento in person as a great gothic auteur.

Juggernaut is a recently released zombie novel that was written by Adam Baker. The story deals with mercenaries in Iraq who encounter an army of the undead, and we’ve been provided with an exclusive excerpt to share with Daily Dead readers:
“Iraq, 2005. Seven mercenaries hear an enticing rumor: somewhere, abandoned in the swirling desert sands, sits an abandoned Republican Guard convoy containing millions of pounds of Saddam’s gold. The mercenaries form an unlikely crew of battle-scarred privateers, killers, and thieves, veterans of a dozen war zones, each of them anxious to make one last score before their luck runs out. After liberating the sole suriving Guard member from Us capture, the team makes their way to the ancient ruins where the convoy was last seen. Although all seems eerily quiet and deserted when they arrive, they soon find themselves caught in a desperate battle for their lives, confronted by greed,...
