This promises to be a terrific #OnlineEvent for #GothicStudies:
Shipping #TheOldEnglishBaron: #ClaraReeve as #Gothic Fangirl
Even though it has been a while since I last spoke about Leroux’s world, it never really left me. I have been diving into Erik’s backstory by the hand of Susan Kay, author of Phantom. This has been my most difficult reading to date, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the worst.
Read the full review at the Sheffield Gothic Blog.
Look what just arrived! I can't wait to read this. Thank you to #GothicStudies at #ManchesterUniversity Press!

Given the current election season, this seems timely. “Democracy and the American Gothic” by Michael J. Blouin is #OpenAccess for the next two weeks from #CambridgeUniversityPress.

I have posted the script for my paper from the Horror Studies Now conference to Knowledge / Humanities Commons (@hello). Stephen Knight and History Seen Through a Gothic Lens outlines some ideas around how the gothic mode represents historical drama, and why it is so relevant to now. https://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:66883/
While there, you can take a look at my other papers on the topic (and others)!

Hey goth fans:
I know you may not think this one's for you, but you should definitely come join us at the "Into the Archieverse" Virtual Conference, May 10-11, 2024, as we discuss witches, zombies, vampires, and Madam Satan herself in the Archieverse. 
But don't worry, that's just Day 1!
We'll also be exploring the nostalgic, the romantic, the queer, the fashionable, the funny, and the punk aspects of the Archieverse--and enjoying some adult shakes along the way. 
Register now for only $25!

Tomorrow! (8th Feb., Zoom)
This talk hosted by our friends at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth will consider Emily Brontë’s literary relationship with the figure of the vampire, tracing the influence of German literature upon her understanding and usage of the vampire figure in #WutheringHeights, and the impact of the novel on contemporary vampire fiction like Twilight.
Elysia Brown is Heritage Assistant at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth and a student on our MA in 19thC Studies.
