If you're in the vicinity of @dculibrary.bsky.social, please pop in to see an exhibition selected from the archive material I've donated. It relates to my first book, The Destruction of Dublin (1985), and the Dublin Crisis Conference I helped to organise in February 1986. A blast from the past!

A friendly Halloween reminder from the goblins and grim reapers of Guillaume Stanyhurst's "Veteris Hominis per expensa quatuor novissima metamorphosis" dated 1661:
We should not fear death, but evil.
But be cautious, because as the giant head says, "He who complains here, perishes eternally". 👻🎃📚
