I loved my time at @horrorstudies.bsky.social Horror Studies Now 2026. So many amazing presentations and fantastic people. Big thanks to everyone involved in putting it together.Absolute legends!
I saw all of these presentations and they were absolutely fantastic. Not only are these #horror scholars really talented, they are also really great people. Congratulations! Lovely stuff! 😁
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.
