I've been waiting so eagerly for this, as someone currently grappling with writing about disability when looking at gothic literature in Japan. Also, Darren is great! Can't wait to read it.

'Horror and Disability' by @drdarrengray.bsky.social is the first study of disability in modern horror film and television, demonstrating how the genre turns bodies, vulnerability and difference into sites of fear and resistance.

@xaldanareyes.bsky.social

Horror and Disability is the first comprehensive study exploring disability within twenty-first-century horror films and television. Using critical theories along with disability and cultural studies, it examines how horror depicts mobility impairments, blindness, deafness, neurodiversity, illness, ageing and physical differences, demonstrating how these bodies are portrayed as monstrous, vulnerable, empowered or resistant

Happy National #Poetry Day!

Learn more about one of Wales's most revered poets in 'R. S. Thomas, Desperado: Cultural Warrior of Wales' by M. Wynn Thomas.

📚️ www.uwp.co.uk/book/r-s-tho...

#NationalPoetryDay

‘M. Wynn Thomas, with his usual
wry wit and poetic perception, walks
the path around the distant and
rugged terrain of R. S. Thomas. This
book is like light through a prism,
the whole spectrum of the poet’s
hints, ambiguities and shards on full
view, and admired with such a
passionate and joyful questioning.
No one reads between R.S.’s lines
with such clarity, and to read this
book is a teasing delight to both the
parched soul and roving mind.’

The Very Revd Mark Oakley,
Dean of Southwark
