It me!
I had a wonderful time, and I am absolutely indebted to the kindness of the conference team for making me feel incredibly supported in some difficult circumstances.
Day 3 Part 2 at Horror Studies Now26
A fantastic panel 'Written in Blood' with Sophie Dungan, Zoe Zavrotny and Alex Herod - that delightful mix of scholarly rigour and relatable moments that brought the work alive - great stuff! @horrorstudies.bsky.social
Day 3 Part 3 at Horror Studies Now26 -a panel on Women in Horror. This was a standout session for me - Shellie McMurdo, Selma Purac and Jeanette Goon all left me wanting more. Chaired by the lovely StaceyAbbot. The power in this room was off the scale! @horrorstudies.bsky.social
@horrorstudies.bsky.social - how great to see the article in The Chronicle - well done, everyone!

I had so much fun talking about Japanese b-horror, evil '80s salesmen and the terrifying concept of a public phone box at Horror Studies Now 2026.
Very grateful to @horrorstudies.bsky.social for organising and to the many brilliant speakers redefining the ways we think and speak about horror.
