Tonight's my SOLD OUT talk at The Last Tuesday Society. Doors 18.30 Let's get spooky this summer 💀 ⛱️

Lovely afternoon presenting at the @issegyptomania.bsky.social conference!

My book is out in the world! Like a Kendrick Lamar album, my publisher just quietly dropped it last Sunday without telling me. However, academic publishing is pricey! If you don't fancy spending £110 for a hardback or £87.50 for an e-book, here's how you can support me. (🧵 1/6)

What do Art Deco, cannibalism, drug use, floriography and mass-consumerism all have in common? 🤔 (🧵)

Getting real now! I'm just making the last tweaks to the proof of my book and seeing it in print is so exciting. Can't wait for you to unwrap Egyptian Gothic on the 16th August. #academia #history #victorian #firsttimeauthor

Talk alert! ⚠️ Unwrapping the Victorian’s Mummy Obsession 19 Aug 18.30-20.30 Come, sip absinthe, and listen to me talk about the weirder side of Egyptomania at The Last Tuesday Society. Early-bird tickets are nearly sold out. thelasttuesdaysociety.org/exhibition/u... #history #talk #london

My website is live! Learn more about my upcoming monograph, and get in touch to book me for podcasts, talks, and conferences 📚 #writingcommunity #history #authors

📚 COVER REVEAL AND PUBLICATION DATE ⚱️ The temperature isn't the only thing that's rising this summer... Egyptian Gothic: 1884-1920 will be out on the 5th August. Here's a sneaky preview of the cover. Pre-orders coming soon... #booksky #firsttimeauthor #egypt #victorian

If anyone is after a good social history read, pick up No Ordinary Deaths by @mollyconisbee.bsky.social. Especially enjoyed reading about the insane textile production behind Victorian mourning culture. #booksky #currentlyreading

It's outdoor reading season in London, so here's what I've been reading this week🌼 ☀️ The new @hallierubenhold.bsky.social is so good! I've been touched by how hard Belle's friends worked to find out what happened to her and to bring Crippen to justice.

It's my viva-versary! 🥂 One year ago I successfully defended my PhD. I've been pretty quiet academically, but the manuscript for my book 'Egyptian Gothic 1880-1920' is now complete. Release info coming soon... 📚

Considering I only picked up photography as a hobby last year, I think these are pretty good 📸 #cinematic #DSLR

Neo-Victorian and Egyptianised Gothic? I am excited to start this one. Such a beautiful cover too. Anyone else picked it up yet? 📚 #booksky

BOOK MANUSCRIPT IS IN 🙌📚 Now to enjoy life before the Sword of Damacles that is publisher's amends drops.

10/10 day at work as Blue's photographer 📸

Look ma - I launched a social media channel! If you want to stay abreast of fire incidents in London or are interested in sick training exercise photos like these, give us a follow 🔥🚒

Spending New Year with your mummy (🧵 1/2) If you give a New Year's party, keep an eye on your mummy. When people start throwing streamers, they might pull one of his loose ends and unravel him.

Merry Christmas everyone! I spent it taking pictures of the sassy street cats of Athens 📸 🐈

He's hiring a ship He's packing his cloak He's moving to England To follow some bloke Dracula is coming to town

Microsoft: and AS SOON as you turn on your device Teams will open! Me: but what if I don’t want- Microsoft: TEAMS WILL OPEN

Me this Sunday, as once again I find myself indexing another chapter of my book.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 According to Monster Holidays (1974): "Your mummy won't eat a Thanksgiving dinner, but he will enjoy the spicy smell of the dressing. He him- self was once stuffed with spices and aromatic herbs. Why not add to his aroma by shaking some thyme and sage on his chest?"

I'm not just interested in Victorian Egyptomania, so you can imagine how excited I was to see Nicholas Cage's death pyramid last month in New Orleans' St Louis Cemetery #1. Apparently the IRS can't seize tombs, making them a great financial investment if you don't pay your taxes...

Joining here as a Musk-free place for my academic musings. I'm currently hard at work on my monograph 'Egyptianised Gothic and the Senses' which should be out with Palgrave Gothic in late 2025. Stay tuned for updates 📚
