Boom 17 of 2026: “Roma: A Travelling History” by Madeline Potter. An interesting dip into the history of the Romani people across Europe and the U.S., presented in conjunction with Potter’s own experiences in her travels. Made me wish my family hadn’t assimilated so well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Eeeek so excited! My monograph, ‘Theological Monsters: Religion and Irish Gothic’ is out with University of Wales Press!
www.uwp.co.uk/book/theolog...
This book explores how monsters articulate questions about the sacred in nineteenth-century Irish Gothic literature. The relationship between religion and Gothic literature has traditionally been approached through denominational readings, but this study proposes how Irish Gothic texts from Charles Maturin’s Melmoth the Wanderer to Le Fanu’s ‘Carmilla’ and Bram Stoker’s Dracula resist being inscribed into particular doctrinal frameworks. Abandoning allegorical interpretations, Theological Monsters proposes that real-life theologies do not translate into the fictional ones articulated across these texts. The focus is on revealing how the bodies of monsters make real and tangible otherwise abstract concepts associated with God and the afterlife, and on identifying monstrosity as a valuable way to uncover knowledge of the divine in nineteenth-century Irish Gothic literature. What follows is an original reassessment of three canonical writers – Maturin, Le Fanu and Stoker – highlighting their fictional theological exercises.
'Theological Monsters: Religion and Irish Gothic' by @madelinepotter.bsky.social is out now!
This book places monstrosity at the centre of the process of gathering knowledge of the divine and reassess the relationship between Gothic literature and Catholicism.

So, true story, when I did my Masters, I had this impression that I should be reading the entire backlog of as many writers on the course as possible. So for a single 3000 word essay I read every single one of Mrs Radcliffe's works.
I was very cool and normal. And continue to be.
