Just a reminder that the deadline for #BARS2026 is approaching for papers, and we are just *one* panelist away from having a full creative-critical panel!

Also a reminder to myself to write my abstract for my own creative-critical paper...

The first Neapolitan Book Club (EVER?!) launched yesterday at Il Corno (where else?) in the Oxford Covered Market 🌶️📚

Of course we *had* to kick off a book club dedicated to fiction about and around Naples with the one and only Elena Ferrante 🌋✍️

Next up on 13 Nov: 17th-century fairy tales (link ⬇️)

We have very talented people in our community! Congratulations to these members for setting their latest books upon the world recently.

Very softly launching something 👀📚☕ share.google/ESLJAZBEHuJU...

Delighted to see my article on Felicia Hemans and why talking with the dead makes you a superior poet finally out in @studiesinrom.bsky.social 🪦📣
If you're into triumphant necromancers, ghostly revenants, and gender politics, go read "A Spirit's Return" which is marvellous and criminally underread!

We are excited to announce the publication of our Summer 2025 issue, which includes essays by Hilary Havens, Greta Colombani, and David Mullins. The issue is available Open Access on Project Muse
@projectmuse.bsky.social
: muse.jhu.edu/issue/55681. Details in the thread.

Had a blast last night chatting with @rjbarker.bsky.social, @davidmbarnett.bsky.social, and @mlinton.bsky.social about folklore, headless horses, children-kicking spirits, and humans being the scariest. Go read their brilliant novels and stay tuned for other fab @britfantasysoc.bsky.social events 💫

Very new on these blue skies so I'm promoting just to the happy few, but this @britfantasysoc.bsky.social spooktacular event is happening tonight at Waterstones Covent Garden and I can't wait to peer behind the veil with these terrific authors 🌳🦀🔍
