Aca-Christmas-Horror-Colleagues I’ve an emergency for an essay on eco-horror and Christmas involving supernatural or magical creatures, pointing to a pagan/folk horror past. Can’t involve ghosts but can be in any media. If interested drop me a message to: baconetti@gmail.com

I’ve been involved in earlier iterations of these books and they’re absolutely terrific. So if you want to help get the latest one on “Subversive Sci-fi: Evolution” out into the world (and on your book shelf) follow the link to their kickstarter page: https://t.co/AJcDrNGtCc

I reviewed Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 for @TheSixthAxis and it's a good game but the modern sensibilities result in an overly streamlined experience compared to the original.

I've just released my second horror video, in which I discuss and rank the much-maligned Children of the Corn films - give it a listen below! https://t.co/Z3uXkRBwXA #Horror #Academia

On the way.

The last bit of fluff I managed to finish before going into hospital. 100 Draculas, the films/series they were in and interviews with (some of) the directors, writers, actors who gave them undead life. Coming to an online bookstore near you soon.

Did you miss last week's talk on the Cumbrian poet and early vampire writer John Stagg? Catch it here -

Thank you for having me. This was one of the most fun interviews ever! Very relaxed and great chatting. And no, I can't stay on topic! Happy Spooky Season. #31DaysOfHalloween
