It’s me, talking about the “most important American author no one’s heard of”, Charles Brockden Brown, whose gothic novels we should all be reading during #America250 @c19americanists.bsky.social @ssag.bsky.social theconversation.com/the-founding...

The Founding Father of American literature, Charles Brockden Brown saw his nation’s dark side

Charles Brockden Brown’s work addressed the violence, psychological torment and corruption that Americans faced in urban centres and along the frontier.

I had the pleasure of presenting @ssag.bsky.social last month in Salem on a panel about @stephengrahamjones.com ! I was fortunate to be talking through some ideas about colonial horror, Indigenous futurity, and slasher tropes in Earthdivers. And? *Had* to bring the SGJ Rules hat.

If you missed this week's excellent talk on folklore and horror in Indo-Caribbean and Métis cultures... you can find it here! It was a great talk and a good introduction to the subject (with a whole slide worth of author recommendations!) youtu.be/uBeVXlOnn_M

Many thanks to the organizers of the #SSAG @ssag.bsky.social conference! I saw tons of great panels & loved meeting other Gothic folks. If you're still in #Salem I highly recommend you stop by the Peabody Essex Museum #PEM to see the Edmonia Lewis exhibit. It's wonderful. www.pem.org/exhibitions/...
