Happy hauntings, all! This cluster has been a long time coming, and I bet its rich and suggestive essays will stick around for a long time to come!

Editors @emmywaldman.bsky.social & David Hering beckon us into the world of hauntings and haunted worlds through the figure of the ghost: “Ghosts waver between substance and ether, visibility and invisibility, presence and absence, anticipation and retrospection." asapjournal.com/node/hauntin...

Friends, @emmywaldman.bsky.social and I are chairing a panel at MELUS in Austin next year. The name of the panel is called “Speculation on the Margins.” We’d love to read your abstracts! Please share widely! Here’s the link to the CFP: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

@jezzbah.bsky.social I am rereading your essay on Nancy and the queer adorable and it’s really helping me out! Have you done more with your comics and avant-garde poetry project??? 👀

teachers! excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone. take a look, share, + most importantly: CONTRIBUTE against-a-i.com

Also, feeling very lucky to have benefited from the keen suggestions, editorial wizardry, and hard labor of the journal team and anonymous reviewer!
