A wonderful evening last night at #YorkLitFest at "What is a Classic?" with Vybarr Cregan-Reid and Sarah Dustagheer. It was lovely to talk about Jane Austen (and #JaneAustenEmbroidery), Charles Dickens and Shakespeare with such terrific scholars at a sold out event!
Excited to contribute to this & share my perspective, as an 18th-century scholar, on the vexing questions of what Folk Horror is & where it might have come from...

York was lovely. Glad to be able to spend some time there once more. Great to take part in #YorkLitFest It’s on during all of March, so do check it out if you’re near or in York, or going to visit.
What an enjoyable panel discussion about writing the future, part of the #YorkLitFest
Just reached the halfway point in my first, very rough draft of present work-in-progress. Happy with progress.
Now to switch back to The Disinformation War so I can talk knowledgeably about that in a panel discussion later today. #YorkLitFest 💙📚
This event filled up so quickly we've had to relocate to a bigger venue & guess what... it's almost sold out again already!
If you're planning on coming along, book your place right now to avoid disappointment!
