Had an absolute blast at @hauntedshores.bsky.social and @macabredanse.bsky.social wonderful 'Unquiet Shores' conference. I got to speak on trauma, water, and sound in horror film, with a very generous reception to my (typical) insistence on inserting trauma and gender into EVERYTHING. Cheers!

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! 🎶🌊🏛🏳️‍🌈

Maddy has coined the phrase 'metronome of corpses' leading to an 'acoustics of death' - a grotesque abundance of potential band names

Maddy Potter on wet ecologies and tertium aliquid in Mariner! Landlocked perspectives made impossible! Nonhuman entanglements allow for imagining new ways of being!

Next panel!!! Boats!!!!

Elsa Bouet on The Beach House! Thick water! So many taps! Water invading domestic spaces via taps!

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.

This is a treat just for me!!! Karin Murray-Bergquist talking about maybe my favourite thing in the world - GHOST SHIPS

Poetics of steamship travel writing! Musicality of the rolling motion of the ship!

Monica Germana on selkies and seals in our second panel of the day at 'Unquiet Shores'!

Closing this panel is Cecile Rose's paper on Genderless Voices: The Androgynous Sirens of Victorian Arts #UnquietShores

Next up, Otilla Veres presents 'Nobody Underneath a Big Wave': Sedimentary Remnants in Alice Oswald's Nobody: A Hymn to the Sea #UnquietShores

Now on "genderless voices: the androgynous sirens of Victorian arts" by Cecilia Rose... The siren was a parallel to victorian sex workers for whom men were catching sti/ syphilis from (sex followed by death) #unquietshores session 1a

Wonderful! Send us photos of all your #UnquietShores pets! 🐾
