A text-heavy graphic features the same session description for Reassessing Wuthering Heights as seen in this threaded post. It also features a still from the new film, plus the headshots of authors Corinne Pollard, Justin Lee Anderson, and Ruth Frances Long.

Emily Bronte's classic is back on our collective minds thanks to Emerald Fennell's new "erotic" film, which means it's time to reassess the text, right? After all, I'm talking about a of love and death, and what's more love and death than an obsession that follows you into the afterlife?

The bouquet is in hand; the champagneโ€™s on ice. But why are the roses black? And who thought a cemetery was the perfect date location?

(Us, actually, but anyway.)

The stage is set for a very special Valentineโ€™s Day in 2026, as Writing the Occult tackles the different worlds of love and death. ๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ

You can't discuss the Brontes without a Yorkshire writer - it's the law - and so of course we've asked @corinnepwriter.bsky.social to join our Wuthering Heights panel. Emily is Corinne's favourite Bronte, which is no surprise given she's partial to creating the spooky stuff herself.
