Tho @GamingTheGothic may be over (for now... 😉) we hope to continue that @TheReimagining, 26th-28th of October! Undergrads, MA, PhD, ECR & independent scholars of all disciplines are invited to submit abstracts that rethink/re-examine/reimagine Gothic aesthetics & archetypes 💀

On the cutting edge of the genre, as always, here’s my new article for @horrified on #horror in computer games of the ‘80s. Jet Set Willy as Weird Horror? Damn straight.

We’re in the middle of summer so let’s repost this gloom-haunted paper from @GamingTheGothic on the #Gothic nature of #Ravenloft, #Barovia and @StrahdVonZ

“...the horror comes not from fighting monsters but from fighting ourselves, depicted as monsters”

'This book explores the presence, role and function of horror in videogames, showing how they enter discussions of horror and how videogames offer a unique, radical space that horror is particularly suited to fill.' 'Videogames and Horror' will be out in July, keep an eye out!

[Dr Lauren Nixon 💀 @literaryla]

For third panel of @GlitchGhosts we’re at ‘Theorising the Glitch’, beginning with Joseph Lindley presenting ‘Ghost Hunting with Object Oriented Ontology and Animism’ (complete with assistants Google and a smart kettle providing helpful definitions & opinions!). #glitchesandghosts

[Dr Lauren Nixon 💀 @literaryla]

Second panel for us @GlitchGhosts is Affective Narratives. First up is @EarlyModBlood (who is DEFINITELY still an early modernist you guys) continuing his run of great paper titles with ‘From Descartes to Tron & Beyond: What to do if the ghost in the machine is you?’
