The network is an informal vehicle for promoting the work of Gothic and Horror scholars (whether they be affiliated or independent) and creative practitioners from throughout the island of Ireland. All are welcome, regardless of career stage, status, location, or relationship to academia. We are particularly interested in creating networking opportunities for Irish-based postgraduate and early career researchers. 

In addition to showcasing the rich and varied work being done within Horror and the Gothic by researchers and creative talents based in Ireland, we also hope to create additional opportunities for networking and collaboration, through hosting at least one event each year, and promoting other relevant ventures that are going on across the island of Ireland.

We have a monthly film discussion club, moderated by Máiréad Casey. Join us as we discuss a different genre classic. Links to the films will be made available, and participants can view the films in their own time, bringing their responses to a lively online discussion. Everyone is welcome, but registration (at the link below) is necessary. Registration will also provide you with access to the film link and the zoom link.

To find links to the zoom and the films, look for the “View the Event” button in the eventbrite email after registration.
