  Wandering Spirits Update: August

  Wandering Spirits:  Traveling Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN  has been out in the world for a few months, and I’m happy to report that, not only is it alive, but doing well!

  The Curse of Frankenstein, Updates, and Other Frankenphilia

  Last Thursday, my good friend, vintage movie expert, bomb writer, and teratologist Orrin Grey inducted me into the wiles of the Hammer Frankenstein films. I’ve never seen them, and so what a better way to celebrate #Frankenstein200 than live-tweeting the experience. It was loads of fun, and we storified the experience here. In addition to…

  Now Available: WANDERING SPIRITS: TRAVELING MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN (the chapbook!)

  Although Frankenstein was published in 1818, fans are getting a head start on celebrating the novel’s bicentennial starting this week. On June 16-18, 1816, in Geneva, Switzerland, three days of terrible thunder storms caused a crew of young poets and libertines–Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Dr. John Polidori, Claire Claremont, and Mary Shelley–to seek shelter in…

  Shadows in Summerland by Adrian Van Young

  I am getting back into book reviewing, starting with Adrian Van Young’s debut weird historical novel Shadows in Summerland (ChiZine) for Strange Horizons.. It’s an intimate look at the Spiritualism movement and the Spiritualist photographer William H. Mumler. I really enjoyed it, and found within it something of a mini-manifesto for how we go about…

  Victor Sierra: Steampunk Paris Music

  The Paris-based Steampunk band Victor Sierra is currently crowdfunding for their third album DARK PASSENGER at Indiegogo. I’m not very good at describing music, but If you can imagine taking the world of Sam van Olffen, orchestrating it with strains of Abney Park, Concrete Blonde, and some Rockabilly/Bluegrass Americana–that may come close to describing their sound. They…

After I consume Season Two, more likely: Publications:…
