9 years ago we lost Mark Fisher, whose work offers perhaps the best diagnosis of the situation we find ourselves in.

In his memory, we've tasked authors with using Fisher's ideas as a jumping off point for all-new horror fictions.

Great video on the historical accuracy of The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) and its relationship to Dickens's novella.

Stimulating and interesting essay, esp. how secrecy informs the narrative reconstitution and replenishment of American exceptionalism across time; a 20C redux of manifest destiny is (re)produced via secrecy.

Well worth reading!
📝 SPIN is delighted to share an essay by Politics & IR student Shae Miles: The Age of Innocence and Ignorance: Exploring the ‘silencing of the past’ in US foreign policy. This was written as part of Shae's excellent work on the University of Bristol's US Foreign Policy unit.
