Prof. Justin Edwards was a true light in Gothic Studies, & an inspiration to many. An initiative from the U of Stirling and @profccferguson seeks to establish the Justin Edwards Memorial Prize to award student work on the Gothic. Please donate if you can gofundme.com/f/justin-edwar…

Very excited to announce a new volume in the Horror Studies series. The Blaxploitation Horror Film: Adaptation, Appropriation and the Gothic, by Jamil Mustafa, will be published in early 2023. #horror #horrorstudies #newbooks

Just wanted to thank @quirk_catherine for a wonderful chairing of the creative panel today @VampireRecovery. She really kept the conversation going and she managed to get the best of us, the authors. Such a great experience for me at my first conference of this type. Thank you🧛‍♂️

Massive congratulations to the organizers @madeline_cct and @VictorianMasc and all the presenters at @VampireRecovery for an outstanding conference. Thank you for two extremely entertaining days. I am tremendously impressed by the dedicated @EHUNineteen students. #VampireRecovery

If any of the #VampireRecovery crew wants to join me for a Carmilla talk in 20 minutes, details below 👇🧛‍♀️

A massive thank you to @VampireRecovery organisers, @madeline_cct and @VictorianMasc, for their hard work on an excellent conference. Lots of new and exciting research to sink our teeth into. #VampireRecovery

I'm still thinking about this seating plan that Dacre Stoker showed @VampireRecovery-evidence of a dinner that included Stoker, Henry Irving,'Edie' & 'Teddy' (children of actress Ellen Terry, who clearly switched places at dinner!), & Arminius Vámbéry who is mentioned in Dracula.

Another great keynote at #VampireRecovery from @LancasterGothic about vampire wellbeing (& yoga!), introspective vampires & how it can productive for us to think ‘with’ vampires, rather than thinking ‘about’ them 🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️

I was today years old when I learned that there's a text-based video game sequel to Marryat's 'Blood of the Vampire'! Thanks @FelEspinoz for a fascinating paper. #VampireRecovery

#VampireRecovery On the creative-critical panel now, listening to @maurice_arts @idraculabook & @AJAshworth - very insightful glimpses into their work and creative practice 🧛‍♀️
