@johnnymains.co.ukReposted by @jendeavour.bsky.socialIf you're a fan of Robert Aickman and want to know more about the relationship he had with his agent, Herbert van Thal, more commonly known as the editor of THE PAN BOOK OF HORROR STORIES, why not buy a ticket to my online talk on the 3rd of December!
@jendeavour.bsky.socialRe-listening to Frankenstein ahead of writing a lecture. It's a good job Walton was only writing to his sister as his neediness is just a bit embarrassing. Walton, secretly thirsting for Frankenstein. Frankenstein, oblivious(?), "NO ONE. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE EVER COULD REPLACE MY PAST LOVES. EVER"
@jendeavour.bsky.socialThat's just an innocent Poor Clare, out for a pleasure cruise!
@jendeavour.bsky.socialSounds like a job for HR.

@rachelparris.bsky.socialReposted by @jendeavour.bsky.socialHey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

@jendeavour.bsky.socialAs if nobody told me that Elizabeth Gaskell had been a penguin since 1969 🤣🐧🐧 Feels like the sort of transformation I should know about if teaching about her 🤣
@jendeavour.bsky.social💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️
@jendeavour.bsky.socialI think the illusory ("ordinary") party-planning of Patricia in #WidowsBay is more horrifying than the occult reality, and the Sea Hag episode. And that last one properly freaked me out.
