Halloween is my favorite. My house is decorated for Halloween all year. I live for the orange leaves and the black cats and the ghosts. My life right now is hard but the season has still come and gone. The candy corn has still flowed freely. The masks have still be built and worn.
Check out "Horror Scholar", a literary journal focused on spooky media.
My favorite academic article on ghosts from the collection, "The Birth of the American Horror Film."
My next newsletter will be the second in my series on adolescence, early internet culture, and gender. Read the first installment here, where I discuss my teenage girlhood through the lens of my nonbinary adulthood.
For an extra special monthly newsletter you can become a paid subscriber (for $5/month or $50/year). Each month, you’ll get at least one extra newsletter with a playlist. More personal writings will also be behind that subscriber paywall.
Thanks for supporting my writing and whining. Expect the first paywalled newsletter in November.
