Please do consider taking some time to have a look at this book. Along with some other amazing contributions that certainly warrant your time, my chapter focuses on spectrality and haunting in Peter Pan 👻

Pryce focuses particularly on ice and the spectrality effect / spectral metaphor to think about the ghostly return of childhood. The liminality and ephemerality of ice, like the spectre - neither nor, and which echoes the ghosts of our childhood past #FiresideTalesofTerror

Queer activists just held a die in and halted Pride in London for 23 minutes, one minute for every person who has died in police custody in England and Wales since the start of 2021. WE DEMAND NO COPS AT PRIDE✊🏳️‍🌈
