Just in time for the #UnquietShores conference next week that we are co-hosting with Haunted Shores, we have a new logo.

🗓️With just over a week to go until #Glastonbury2025, here's a full breakdown of what's on at Atchin Tan in Theatre and Circus. 🙅‍♀️We've got workshops, films, music and even a takeover at Unfairground so make sure to catch what we've got planned—it's going to be a special one!👇

Lord Byron read aloud ghost stories from Fantasmagoriana at Villa Diodati on this night, 16 June 1816, proposing afterward that “each write a ghost story”. From this, two masterworks of Gothic literature would be born: Mary Shelley’s #Frankenstein and Dr. Polidori’s The Vampyre.

Travelling with a book about traveling today. Madeline Potter I am taking it to York :-)

Love this! and there’s even a bit in the book about York 🤭

On page 44: the Bayash, the survivors who ended up along the Danube and the Drava (including in the villages near Osijek)

'We will each write a ghost story,' said Lord Byron; and his proposition was acceded to. There were four of us. The noble author began a tale, a fragment of which he printed at the end of his poem of Mazeppa. – Mary Shelley, Introduction to Frankenstein (1831 edition)

Halfway through this now, not yet in York :-) Some painful stories that I knew something about (Hungary, Austria, Germany), other stories I knew almost nothing about (France.) Thanks for sharing this all, Madeline Potter
