I'm really pleased that my book The Eternal Wanderer is now available from Cambridge University Press. It explores the antisemitic Wandering Jew myth through Christian writing in the Gothic period, and is drawn from my PhD. You can read it for free until 7 Feb 2025: www.cambridge.org/core/element...

I love all of Syd Moore's witchy books, and THE DROWNING POOL is all about the local Leigh-on-Sea legend of Sarah Grey the sea-witch. And if you want to know more about Syd Moore's witch books, I wrote a blog post about them a few years ago: sheffieldgothic.home.blog/2018/08/21/t...
"'Why the Drowning Pool?' [...]
'I guess it had something to do with local witches' [...]
'That's why locals say it was haunted. By the restless souls of the witches and innocents drowned there.'"

Our microwave keeps beeping when no one’s in the room so I’m pretty sure it’s haunted. Or, our kitchen has a ghost or a poltergeist which might explain the time on these speakers - yes that is 25 minutes past the 29th hour and 20 minutes past the 31st hour in March 2030…
