[Dr Emily Alder @Emilyalder]

To be great on this committee, you don’t need to be someone senior or even to have been a member for very long! All you need is enthusiasm for the work of the BSLS and a bit of time to devote to helping direct the Society’s activities.

[Jimmy Packham @jfpackham]

A couple of weeks left to submit abstracts for our next Haunted Shores gathering (converging? assemblage?) — the debate still wide open to find the hauntedest shore of them all.

[Dawn Keetley @DawnKeetley]

My short book, FOLK GOTHIC, thinks through how a distinctive folk gothic might diverge from folk horror. Never had so much fun writing a book! It's in a great series edited by @DaleGothic96 & @AngelaW49888140 from @CUP_LitPerform #gothic #folkhorror

@Jendeavour Heron, not Hesketh, sorry (confusing double-authorship thing and then they used a pseudonym)

[Dr Emily Alder @Emilyalder]

@Jendeavour Have you looked at Hesketh’s Flaxman Low stories or Blackwood’s John Silence stories? Also I second the Nesbit recommendations such as The Shadow.

[Dr Sarah Sharp @Sarah_natters]

Hi Colleagues! Annual request for details of online talks on race, colonialism and 19th c British interactions with the world. My students at Aberdeen benefit massively from attending live and recorded events. Please help me open their eyes to the wealth of scholarship out there!
