I've received my first ever PLR statement! Thank you to everyone who borrowed Night Terrors from a library - it means a lot. 😊

The second book chapter I wrote over lockdown has now been published! It's all about the The Society for Psychical Research's Census of Hallucinations and it's in the very exciting edited collection, Gothic Dreams and Nightmares from Manchester University Press.

I went to the actual BBC building today to record an episode of Free Thinking and had the best time. Massive posters of Claudia Winkleman loom down from the walls inside like portraits of the elusive aristocrat in a haunted mansion...it was great.

Pals! I am talking about spooky sleepy things on Free Thinking on BBC Radio 3 tonight at 10pm (but maybe don't listen right before you go to bed). Link to the broadcast: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Can we look forward to 24 hour societies that allow us to vote in the middle of the night and visit the dentist at 3am? @newynewby Jonathan White Alice Bennett ⏰ Alice Vernon will be wide awake and fizzing with ideas about sleep at 10pm (or listen now bbc.in/49WKxc0 )

It would be interesting to see how this compares to parasomnias. In terms of the hours I spend asleep (and by the standards of this article) I'm completely fine, but the things I see and experience in my sleep can mess me right up for days afterwards. theguardian.com/science/2024/m…

Alice Vernon currently reading Night Terrors, an excellent insightful book into parasomnias. I'm not alone in these experiences and you've given me reassurances and ideas. Thank you.

A pal has just sent me this photo from Bergen city library - with Night Terrors as one of their recommended non-fiction books of 2023! That's pretty snazzy.

I am officially half-way through writing the first draft of my next book. I also had terrible sleep paralysis and a nightmare about a poltergeist last week. These things are related. 👻

Now I’m safely at Watson, Little Ltd, you can find my wishlist here: watsonlittle.com/agent/hannah-w… I’m looking for a wide range of commercial and upmarket fiction, including thrillers, and would love to find some gorgeous narrative non-fiction too.

There was a beautiful scarlet tiger moth right outside my door this morning. Sometimes I spot the bugs; sometimes the bugs spot me.
