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.

Mabs Drawlloween Club: Day 4 - Haunting
I think it's time to start my annual rewatch of this modern horror classic. I'm still a little sore that netflix aren't giving us a new 'haunting' series every year. Wonder if I'll be able to spot all the ghosts this time around.

I've been enjoying listening to this on audible today. (I myself have had an earful of politics, so much so that I'm afraid of losing myself to it permanently and burning out because nothing new happens except the continuing deterioration.) Anyway, I am loving these stories so far. #audible #ShirleyJackson

Teaching Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" (1948, 1st published in The New Yorker) today. Reread it if you have a moment because its rendering of the "banality of evil" (Arendt) very much speaks to our moment. How cruelty becomes formalized, accepted, and practiced. Profoundly resonant.

It’s a dumpster fire of a day in all directions, and thus a weird time to share anything positive, but I have now turned in my contribution to the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of #ShirleyJackson. So… woot! 🖊️ 📖 #Books #Gothic #Academic
