Prano Bailey-Bond in conversation with Laura Mee, kicking off day two of our Horror Studies Now event at Northumbria University for PhD/ECRs.

Fantastic event #HorrorNow I've just attended at Northumbria uni. I'm a relative layperson in how limited my knowledge of horror is compared to all others there, though I did speak at the first event in 2017! It provides a friendly, nurturing community for young scholars. (1)
