Seriously!!

I have that! Also, When is someone going to turn Gad's Hall/The Haunting of Gad's Hall into a TV series?

Article includes a photo of a US naval base in Trinidad under construction. My Grenadian grandfather, a building contractor, moved to Trinidad during the war to work on the construction of US bases.

Hear hear!

Totally know what you mean -@kjsoar.bsky.social and I have been discussing that about Strange Relics too!

I recognise that Handheld cover!

This sounds superb!

Good advice generally for personal archiving (not just for romance authors)!

@gabemoshenska.bsky.social might be able to help

Very much enjoyed yesterday's Black British Folk Takeover @cecilsharphouse.bsky.social yesterday. Some absolutely beautiful music.

Ha ha indeed! Plus, visit to an archive, which may also involve latin passages, someone getting too curious, something hairy and horrible (see also tactile horror), and beds are scary.

Gotta be don't buy that rare book

😂

Definitely one for @gabemoshenska.bsky.social @kjsoar.bsky.social @mjpcuervo.bsky.social

Wonderful!

Can't wait to hear more

Whoop whoop!!

Exciting times!

Sounds exciting! Congrats!

Had it with admin

Hill is in our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database

Dust jacket for Marjorie Bowen’s The Bishop of Hell with a bishop’s head surrounded by orange flames set against a black background.

Thought I’d do something a bit different for my annual month-long celebration of women’s ghost stories. So instead of doing individual stories, I’ll share the books themselves. (All books are from my collection.)

🎃 Here we go! 👻

First up is Marjorie Bowen’s The Bishop of Hell (1949)

He'd be so chuffed - congratulations!

Will be checking this out, with great interest

Promotional image for the book Hostel, House and Chambers: Accommodating the Victorian and Edwardian Working Woman by Emily Gee. The background shows a detailed woven bedspread with the text "Women’s Lodging House" around a decorative floral emblem. Overlaying text reads: “The story of pioneering chambers and hostels that housed intrepid Victorian and Edwardian working women.” The book cover is to the right, with Historic England and Liverpool University Press logos at the bottom.

Hostel, House and Chambers: Accommodating the Victorian and Edwardian Working Woman by Emily Gee publishes today! This Historic England title offers an expert architectural analysis, combining social history and insights into pioneering employed women’s domestic and working lives. bit.ly/HEHostel

Makes sense to me!

Eliza Jeffries Davis, Joyce Jeffries Davis, and Margaret Cornford (and others!) would be thrilled, I'm sure!

Just spotted looking through London University Extension stuff that EP Steele Hutton was also an extension lecturer in London in the 1st decade of 20thC.
