ONE SEAT LEFT! My "#Hangsaman by #ShirleyJackson: Exploring a #Gothic Campus #Mystery" one-month module with SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) #online via #SignumUniversity begins tomorrow and runs throughout October. I am so excited to dive in!
Hangsaman is psychological study of a young woman’s coming of age; a dark Gothic mystery; a critique of gender roles, family dynamics, & higher education; a meditation on trauma & mental illness; a fictional answer to a real-life #TrueCrime, & an ancestor of today’s #DarkAcademia storytelling.

#OTD in 1916, the great #ShirleyJackson was born.
Here’s a little piece I wrote earlier this year about teaching Jackson’s remarkable novel #Hangsaman. It’s posted at “Reading Shirley Jackson in the 21st Century,” an online resource investigating the past and future landscapes of Shirley Jackson studies.
I’m looking forward to teaching #TheHauntingOfHillHouse in January!

I just want to be sure everyone interested in #Horror and the #Gothic knows about the site “Reading Shirley Jackson in the 21st Century,” an online resource investigating the past and future landscapes of #ShirleyJackson.
Here is a blog post I wrote for the site, describing my experience teaching Jackson’s brilliant novel #Hangsaman in my graduate class on #DarkAcademia.
