@BE_Chadburn @rosiecrocker98 I love it! 🤩

[Dr Manon Burz-Labrande @MLbrnd]

@BE_Chadburn @rosiecrocker98 I feel you - last year of the PhD was when I suddenly decided that I needed to learn how to crochet cute ghosts, squids and cacti... it did help me deal with stress and with the frustration that the last writing stretch was bringing about though!

[Dr Manon Burz-Labrande @MLbrnd]

Would anyone with a Times Literary Supplement subscription be able to download their review of _Spectral Sounds_ for me, by any chance? For some reason, I am having some trouble subscribing and cannot access it... 🙏 https://t.co/Rt8IyMOHEW

This book uncovers penny titles which have, until now, been largely neglected from literary discourse revealing the cultural, social and literary significance of these working-class texts.

Edited by @GothProf and @VictorianPopFic, ‘Penny Dreadfuls and the Gothic’ is out now!

Today is the day that our wonderful collection of pennys is released into the world. A huge thank you to all those involved with this collaborative. I couldn’t have ask for a better co-editor @VictorianPopFic or contributors! 💜🖤.
