James Baxter

I wrote a sister article to "I Am of Mud and Flame: Landscapes as Conjurors in British Folk Horror" that was published over at Vague Visages. Below is a link to my "Top 10 ‘A Ghost Story for Christmas’ Films"! highonfilms.com/a-ghost-story-…

@darling_orlaith @tcddublin @EleanorQ_Neil @FairyTaleSci congratulations!

I had the distinct pleasure of graduating from @tcddublin last week, just over a year after I submitted my PhD and ten years since I started at Trinity as an undergrad, wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. Was special, also, to be graduating with loved ones @EleanorQ_Neil & @FairyTaleSci

Excited to sign a contract w/Routledge for my first academic book! ‘Hybrid Novels’ will be out next year & discusses both the problems & appeals of “post-postmodernism” - its use in scholarship, evidence in novels published at the turn of c21, & relationship w/sincerity & race.

RIP Robert Coover. The Public Burning remains a staggering and impossible novel.
