#gothicstudies colleagues, I’m chasing a peer-reviewer for a postgraduate journal. Any recommendations for researchers with good knowledge of #angelacarter gastronomic gothic and/or 20th century #femalegothic would be amazing!

Just finished @chuckwendig.bsky.social ‘s new banger. Three things I liked (aside from the great scares)
1. The list of stupid MTG names
2. Tank Thunderforge
3. The fact that the Greige Space Room is terrifying enough for interior design reasons alone.

“Put the food in whenever, pray you remember to take it back out, eat the evidence of your failure” has always been foolproof for me
