Gothic Imagination, 2025, is a wrap. Probably one of the best classes I've had to privilege to teach. The students were all cool. This is our final site visit, Strawberry Hill House, ground zero for Gothic fiction. #gothic

Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world."
