The funniest thing is that the profile Warwick seems to have paid for in Vogue of an SMT member is just AI word slop that says nothing. Zero. My dogs could produce more meaningful prose.

Self-inflicted embarrassment for the University of Warwick — first it rebrands hyper-generically, then someone totally unhinged decides the *front page of the uni website* should say ‘Learn more about our Brand’.

Very nice to make into the very first issue of a new journal, and American Gothic Studies looks like it'll be a great new venue for the field. Lucky to be amongst some terrific essays. My bit is a trip down the Funhole with Kathe Koja.... www.psupress.org/Journals/jnl...

Exciting things happening on the 'Women in World-Literature' conference "hub" front!
What is the "hub" model? Well, we noticed last time that participants valued the interactive elements, so now we want to take networking opportunities to as many people as possible!

Baptising this new place with a shameless plug: a bit from a couple of weeks ago that I wrote for @thetls.bsky.social on the dubious delights of 70s/80s paperback horror. For my fellow weirdos. www.the-tls.co.uk/literature/f...
The decades before horror became respectable
Mutant cockroaches. Vampires terrorizing Washington. Bigfoot. Hallucinogenic drugs made from the blood of schizophrenics. A slug-eating inbred family
