    Recent Other Books

    Current Research Interests

    I am听currently preparing an edition of materials related to the Ghost Club, a late 19th century gathering of gentlemen who met to discuss matters psychical, spiritual and occult.

    I am one of the co-editors, with Stacey Abbott, Adam Lowenstein and Kris Woofter, of the Routledge Companion to Global Horror,听锘縧ikely to be published in 2026.

    I am also collecting material for a book on 'The New Dead' -- curious听in-between states of lives lived on听after death, from the mummified aristocracy of Egypt, via the Mesmerised, prematurely buried, catatonic and cryogenically frozen, to the embalmed bodies of twentieth century鈥檚 key Communist leaders, to the current crisis of medically extended yet minimally conscious lives. This will lead towards a large project to re-categorise modernity鈥檚 continuing obsession with the undead.
