If I'm being made redundant, might as well throw myself into one last conference season

Lovely to meet you in person at #GothicCrossroads! I enjoyed your workshop and paper so much!

And with that, the #GothicCrossroads conference has come to an end. It was the perfect way to (re)connect with my fellow Gothic scholars! Many thanks go out to the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies for the lovely time and for letting me present my paper on the horror dynamics of the 'bad trip'!

It’s lovely to see so many photos from #GothicCrossroads at @manmetuni.bsky.social!

I absolutely loved presenting my research on Red Rose and the Televisual Gothic in the digital age at #GothicCrossroads this week - and learning from and catching up with Gothicists from around the world! Very excited to see everyone again at next year’s @igagoths.bsky.social conference in Hull 🦇

I forgot to tag this #gothiccrossroads but twas a scarily fabulous time 🧛 🧛 ✨ 🖤

Brilliant time at #GothicCrossroads - heard a lot of great papers & got to re/connect with members of the Gothic academic community old & new.
