Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!

The image is the cover of a book titled "THE HISTORY OF THE GOTHIC VIDEO GAME" by Christopher Carton. The cover features a dark and moody aesthetic, fitting for the gothic theme. At the top, the title is prominently displayed in large, white letters against the backdrop of a shadowy, gothic architecture environment. In the central part of the cover, there are two characters in what appears to be an intense battle or confrontation. One character is clad in heavy armor and wielding a spear, while the other, smaller figure is in a dynamic pose, possibly mid-attack or dodge, emphasizing movement and action. The setting includes towering structures and arches, further emphasizing the gothic atmosphere of the game. Below, there are three smaller screenshots showcasing various aspects of the game: a character in modern attire holding a futuristic weapon, a character in a red cloak in a dramatic pose with arms outstretched, and a classic gothic image of a hand holding a intricate sword.

    Haste Ye Back (again)
    5 March, Glasgow University & online
    Free

    Dorothy K. Haynes (1918–1987) was a well-known author of horror fiction. Dr Craig Lamont discusses editing HASTE YE BACK, Haynes’s of her childhood years in Aberlour Orphanage. An orphanage, in north-east Scotland, during the Great Depression, sounds like the setting for something grim – yet Haynes shows how an orphanage can also be a home, & a happy one too.

    "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925) is a classic silent film with a strong Gothic horror romance theme.

    Unfortunately there's no public domain score, so I've edited a new libre soundtrack for the film from existing Creative Commons and public domain music. You can watch this new version at:

    Also, in case you missed it, I did a similar thing for the Oscar-winning war/romance film "Wings" (1927):
