I couldn't resist picking this and finally reading the whole thing after Stefanie Tegeler's great talk on Eleanor Scott at the #WarningToTheCurious conference!
If you came to the #WarningToTheCurious conference (or just bought tickets), keep an eye on the conference pack!
I've already recordings for 2 keynotes and 2 panels!
Get stuck in!!
The annual RtG conference is always a delight and #WarningToTheCurious was no exception.
Two days of fascinating talks and we closed with an absolutely phenomenal performance by Robert Lloyd Parry. Massive thanks to @romgothsam.bsky.social and @madelinepotter.bsky.social for organising! 👻🖤
This weekend was incredibly busy but also brilliant. Two whole days of Gothery nerdery at the #WarningToTheCurious conference.
A massive thanks to all speakers, our visiting authors, Robert Lloyd Parry for his amazing performance, workshop hosts, cocktail hosts and familiars!!!
I loved every minute of both days of #warningtothecurious but my favorite workshop was almost certainly the hour long mini game jam we did with ABS. Not only was this the most confident I felt participating all weekend (I don't have a history or literature degree but I AM a ttrpg writer) [1/3]
I had the privilege of talking about the wonderful Eleanor Scott at this year's Romancing the Gothic online conference. Such a fun weekend packed with interesting talks about wells, theology, dialects, Upiórs & more 👻 #WarningToTheCurious

In relation to tonight's performance by @nunkie.bsky.social during A Warning to the Curious conference by @romgothsam.bsky.social

Having started the week touring medieval churches in Suffolk, and ended it at the #WarningToTheCurious conference, I think it is fair to say that I am now as steeped in M.R. James as the mortal soul can bear.
Big thanks to @romgothsam.bsky.social for another fabulous Romancing the Gothic event!

Robert Lloyd Parry’s live dramatic performance of MR James’ “A Warning to the Curious” is the perfect way to conclude the online #WarningToTheCurious conference.

Final session of the #WarningToTheCurious conference, being treated to a dramatic performance by Robert Lloyd Parry (he actually looks a bit like MR James) getting spoilt by RtG as he's very very good.
Perfect ending for the weekend 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Listening to @nghivo.bsky.social , @silviamg.bsky.social , and Suzan Palumbo at the #WarningtotheCurious @romgothsam.bsky.social conference!
Relating so much to Silvia Moreno Garcia loving writing old-school 19th/20thC horror but modern readers not being interested 😭😭
#WarningToTheCurious
Excited for the author panel now on #WarningToTheCurious
Amazing authors joining today for both short and novel length fiction from Suzan Palumbo, Nghi Vo and Silvia Moreno-Garcia !!!!
My contribution to the Game Jam run by ABS at #WarningToTheCurious. We used Figma and the dice rolling works!
Nearly everything gives me story ideas, but nothing gives me more story ideas than Romancing the Gothic talks and the #WarningToTheCurious conference is doing its best to help me set a record for most ideas in a single weekend.
Loving the Sounds and Senses Panel at Romancing the Gothic's #WarningToTheCurious conference: Kendra Leonard on Sound and Music, Alessandra Pino on Dark Memory and Dark Food, and now Sam Hirst on Listening for Ghosts and Radcliffe's 'Supernatural Explained.' All fantastic.
In the foreground there is a crosstitch of a trad New England house being attacked by a flying saucer. In the background there is a lecture slide featuring an MR James quote.
Tuned into the #romancingthegothic #warningtothecurious conference hosted by @romgothsam.bsky.social with a lecture on food and the Gothic in the Caribbean.
Doing an appropriate crosstitch as I listen...

Now on sound and music in MR James
Better put that whistle down .... 😱
The Archives & Archaeology panel at RtG was SO interesting. I was chairing so I’ll have to write a summary later. ALL the panels have been interesting. An embarrassment of archaeological & hauntological riches w a healthy dose of Shirley Jackson as cherry on top for Day 1. #WarningToTheCurious
My favourite thing of this conference so far was today's keynote, which suggests that MR James and my favourite medieval monk, Ælfric of Eynsham, would probably completely agree on how to treat old manuscripts while butting heads on theology #WarningToTheCurious
Day Two: A Warning to the Conference

Day 2 is here and going strong!👏❤️
#WarningToTheCurious
Day 2 of #warningToTheCurious is underway, just finishing the first panel on supernatural justice - was interesting hearing actual cases in the UK where ghosts (word of) were accepted as testimony. And of Upiór in Poland.
The end of day 1 of the #WarningToTheCurious conference and what a day!
A great keynote from Darryl Jones! 13 fascinating papers! A workshop on haunted objects that has me writing a VERY weird little story and, of course, the cocktail/mocktail hour!
Love that for us!
It's cocktail hour at #WarningToTheCurious and we've been reminded that there a more than 450 videos on Youtube sharing the weekly talks covering a massive range of Gothic fiction and more www.youtube.com/@RomancingTh...
When the pink of your #loomknitting matches the pink of the slide for the current panel for #WarningToTheCurious (lighting makes it look more peach than it actually is)
