SUMMARY:Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Join members of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies at House of Books & Friends on 29th May for the first of their Spring/Summer Contemporary Reading Groups for 2024. Join us from 4.15 for refreshments before the discussion begins at 4.30. Author Emma Hind will be joining the discussions from 4.50pm\, so come along to hear word from the woman herself! \nThis is the first of a series of 4 reading groups (the first two will be in person\, the last two online). These free sessions\, which run in the summer months\, give us a chance to explore the prominent role of the Gothic in modern and contemporary culture. Come along for a relaxed conversation among enthusiasts and avid readers. \nTickets are free and can be reserved through their EventBrite here. \nFORMAT\nThe session will be led by one of our postgraduate Gothic researchers Sarah Dutson and Bronte Schiltz. There is no need to prepare questions or reviews. Please just turn up on the day ready to chat about the book. \nAUDIENCE\nThis reading group is free and open to everyone\, but please note that regular attendees tend to be postgraduate researchers and members of staff. For this reason\, the group might not suit total beginners. \nBOOK\nEmma Hinds’ debut novel The Knowing (2024) is based on real historical characters and set in the slums of nineteenth-century New York. It centres on an abused tattoo artist’s model and her strange gift of summoning the dead. You can find out more about the novel here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-knowing/emma-hinds/9781915798138 \n
