I am very excited to be speaking with Rodge Glass on the 5th of November at Strathclyde University. Rodge was the lecturer who encouraged me to write when I was 17, so it's lovely to complete the full revolution and have him mediate this conversation. Free entry!

's new Midnight Movie Monograph on the cult horror film Possession. It's a great read, and Chris's very personal dissection of the film is an insightful labour of love.

I can’t thank Chris Kelso enough for this very cool and rare book, Possession. Flipping through this gorgeous book, you can tell the detail and care Kelso spends discussing this “video nasty.” I highly recommend!!
