Coming to the end of day one and reflecting on what great work @kte75.bsky.social and @cinefeline.bsky.social have done to put together a conference that is wide ranging in terms of discipline, cultures, and periods covered while also designing panels that are coherent and compelling. Great day one!
It is Youth and Horror time! I am not presenting anything so looking forward for the opportunity to just enjoy learning new things. Great range of papers on the programme and hopefully a chance to catch up with some folks in the horror studies community

Very chuffed to have written the obituary, for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, of the inspiring, multi-talented (and, in my view, underappreciated) British Queen of Horror, Barbara Shelley. RIP Barbara.
