Some excellent cats made their appearances known at the end of the break & into the talk. Cats are clearly connoisseurs of eerie images & excellent keynotes. #WarningToTheCurious
Now listening to @profdarryljones.bsky.social talking about "Flying Time and all that it had taken out of my life"

My favourite thing of this conference so far was today's keynote, which suggests that MR James and my favourite medieval monk, Ælfric of Eynsham, would probably completely agree on how to treat old manuscripts while butting heads on theology #WarningToTheCurious

Just showing off now but the current talk by John Hartley is about between the wars anthologies during which he mentioned a couple of these, sitting above my desk. The next talk is Stefanie Tegeler on M. R. James' characters as Mad Scientists. What's not love? #WarningToTheCurious

The end of day 1 of the #WarningToTheCurious conference and what a day!
A great keynote from Darryl Jones! 13 fascinating papers! A workshop on haunted objects that has me writing a VERY weird little story and, of course, the cocktail/mocktail hour!
Love that for us!

Definitely adding Eleanor Scott to my TBR, thanks to Sontje Schulenburg's talk "Overshadowed by M. R. James: The Supernatural Fiction of Eleanor Scott" #RomancingTheGothic #WarningToTheCurious

I couldn't resist picking this and finally reading the whole thing after Stefanie Tegeler's great talk on Eleanor Scott at the #WarningToTheCurious conference!
6) Randall's Round by Eleanor Scott
I've been reading a short story a day but out of one collection so I bunched them all up. I read the British Library Tales of the Weird edition. A fantastic collection with some absolute gems. I'd highly recommend this one!

Continuing the tradition of Elijah dressing up for the annual #RtG @romgothsam.bsky.social conference, here's this year's costume. Theme is M R James #WarningToTheCurious, so sheet ghost it is.

Loving the Sounds and Senses Panel at Romancing the Gothic's #WarningToTheCurious conference: Kendra Leonard on Sound and Music, Alessandra Pino on Dark Memory and Dark Food, and now Sam Hirst on Listening for Ghosts and Radcliffe's 'Supernatural Explained.' All fantastic.

When the pink of your #loomknitting matches the pink of the slide for the current panel for #WarningToTheCurious (lighting makes it look more peach than it actually is)
...got a few rows done whilst listening to all the talks

The Archives & Archaeology panel at RtG was SO interesting. I was chairing so I’ll have to write a summary later. ALL the panels have been interesting. An embarrassment of archaeological & hauntological riches w a healthy dose of Shirley Jackson as cherry on top for Day 1. #WarningToTheCurious
