On March 8 I remember with the deepest gratitude the NecronomiCon Providence panel “The Weird has always been female: the Women’s Canon in Weird Fiction,” where my amazing fellow ladies in Gothic/ horror studies participated: that was one of the best and brightest events out there.

My dear female colleagues in academic Lovecraftiana and Weird/horror/gothic studies, may your endeavours and achievements always be recognised and accepted: you thoroughly deserve it. Happy International Women’s Day!
