Genuine pleasure presenting our reading of Cry To Heaven at @hauntedshores.bsky.social this morning! Seeing and hearing the wonderful presentations on Stephen King and Dion Fortune + the myriad ways I have pronounced 'castration' in the space of 20 minutes was great fun! 🎶🌊🏛🏳️‍🌈

The cover for our presentation (we used the call me by your name font): Why is it you walked into the sea? A phenomenological study of voice and Venice's queer canals in Anne Rice's Cry to Heaven (1982)

Jamie Gorrod with more seals!! This time from 'Song to the Seals' by Granville Bantock (1930). So many engineers become folklorists and antiquaries! Well. Two that I know of - him and Robert Hunt.
