For ease, I'm going to make a thread of all my blogs for the 'Scare a Day' challenge. I'm writing a blog a day (possibly because I am a fool) on a different supernatural story. Read with us or just jump in and out on the stories and blogs that interest you!

Released today: Newly restored by us, The Horrible Dr Hichcock features commentariesby Kat Ellinger @GirlsGutsGallx Tim Lucas video extras with Dr Miranda Corcoran MadeleineLedespencer loaded booklet, two cuts and more!

I'm not on here much these days, but I'm so delighted to have a video essay on this stunning release. It's all about necrophilia and gaslight melodramas of the 1940s.

Very excited to be included in Mr. Dan Kelly's excellent (and seasonal!) article on Uni of Wales Press's Horror Studies series. UWP Commissioning #HappyHalloween chicagoreader.com/arts-culture/l…

Gonna be spending the next 2 weeks teaching Stephen Graham Jones's incredible My Heart is a Chainsaw. Students loved it last year and that book really warms my dark, slasher-loving heart. Maybe when the semester ends and I have free time again I can finally move on to Don't Fear the Reaper.

Important meeting for precarious friends and colleagues in TCD

Delighted to be in such great company
