Current Blog Series:
Everyday Gothic
In the Everyday Gothic series, our contributors explore day-to-day experiences that have reminded them of the Gothic – whether these were spooky, unsettling, or just a little odd. We’re always on the lookout for new posts, so if you have a story you want to tell get in touch at sheffieldgothic@gmail.com or tweet us @SheffieldGothic!
Holiday Gothic
Our Holiday Gothic series takes a look at the darker sides of celebrations throughout the year. Keep an eye out for our calls for posts as different holiday seasons approach, or get in touch if there’s a holiday you think we should consider!
Gothic Bible
The ‘Gothic Bible Blog Series’ is part of the Gothic Bible project, a collaborative project run by Sheffield Gothic and SIIBS at the University of Sheffield, and also the University of Auckland (you can find out more about the project here). The blog series is ongoing, so if you would like to contribute a post you can email us at sheffieldgothic@gmail.com with the subject ‘Gothic Bible Blog Submission’ or tweet us at @GothicBible.
Archive Blog Series:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2017)
Throughout the summer of 2017, and in honour of the twentieth anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003), Sheffield Gothic explored each of the show’s seven seasons in a special blog series dedicated to Buffy. Each week the series focused on a different season, publishing a diverse range of posts exploring Xander, Giles, Faith, heroinism and victimhood, vampire boyfriends, werewolves and so much more.
