Inner Lives Project

Inner Lives: Emotions, Identity, and the Supernatural, 1300–1900. We’re a @LeverhulmeTrust project exploring magic, witchcraft, feeling, and selfhood.

Fairies, witches, ghosts, devil, wires, batteries, techno fear... Really liking the cover of my new book on insanity & the supernatural in the 19th century. Now available for pre-order. More info here: https://t.co/w2C0B2UuVd

Fresh from the box, the 2023 reissue of Witchfinders! No big changes - mostly just a fluorescent makeover to keep up with The Ruin of All Witches.

It’s here! “The Witches of St Osyth” looking very beautiful in actual print. You can find it here: https://t.co/KDzRdY1xQc And you should also get ⁦@MagicNotWitches⁩’ wonderful first book “Love Spells and Lost Treasure” https://t.co/NEnTKZEKrf

Niche pet peeve time: Newcastle Witches on a Pendle pamphlet!

Reading this edition from my shelves today. All MR James ghost books should come from the library of a Suffolk vicar - @DrFrancisYoung!

Would anyone be interested in giving a talk on anything in the realms of the strange and unusual? I’ve founded a society at Aberdeen for all things spooky, gothic, and paranormal. I’d love to look at getting a seminar series organised (most likely over zoom or teams).

Thrilled that The Ruin of All Witches has been chosen by Waterstones as their Non-Fiction Book of the Month.

Purchased Malcolm Gaskill's new book THE RUIN OF ALL WITCHES. This one moves across the pond to examine the witch craze in colonial America...

[Dr Tabitha Stanmore @MagicNotWitches]

Now that it's official, I'd like to share this enormous picture of my face and the INCREDIBLY EXCITING news that I'm writing a book!! Huge thanks to @mfredturner for making it happen, and to @TheBodleyHead for the opportunity! 🎉🧙‍♂️🧙🧙‍♀️⭐️🌟

One of the first printed images of a ghost. 16th century.

Chapter 2: HERE WE MUST BE HAPPY

A new life begins on the frontier, full of hope and opportunity.

So why are the settlers so uneasy? What wickedness lurks in the forests and swamps - or perhaps in the dark scheming heart of a neighbour?

Find out in . . .

Chapter 1: A VOICE THAT SAID 'DEATH'

Thousands are emigrating to New England, leaving poverty, impiety and evil behind them.

But has the devil stowed away on a ship? Why are there demons in America, tempting and tormenting the colonists?

Find out in . . .

Over the next nine days, leading up to publication of The Ruin of All Witches on 4 November, I will be posting teasers for the story, chapter by chapter. Something was rotten in the town of Springfield. Watch this space to find out what.

[Malcolm Gaskill @malcolmgaskill]

The first copy of my very handsome looking book arrived today. Many thanks to ⁦@AllenLaneBooks⁩ for being so consistently brilliant in getting me to this stage.

[Malcolm Gaskill @malcolmgaskill]

Delighted that my book Hellish Nell, the story of troubled spiritualist medium Helen Duncan, imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act in 1944, looks set to become a major feature film. And it’s only taken twenty years! https://t.co/TWNf5OomZY

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

I've just completed the index for 'Building Magic' by @odavies9 and @CeriHoulbrook, about the archaeology of apparent ritual objects discovered in buildings - coming soon with @Palgrave https://t.co/Mme4jcSgfB @inner_lives
