A morning spent at the @britishmuseum with @TessBaber at the Hieroglyphics: Unlocking ancient Egypt exhibition! This evening I’ll be talking about travellers, mummies, Victorians, museums, & more at @horsehospital tickets: miskatonicinstitute.com/even… @MiskatonicIHS @CigaretteBurns_
Popped into @britishlibrary to renew my pass and picked myself up a copy of ‘Crawling Horror’—edited by the fabulous @janetteleaf1 😎, visited The Hardy Tree in St Pancras and saw a bit of #Egyptomania at Hend house on the way home. Fantastic afternoon w. @gothicbookworm 😍😍😍
TOMORROW @gothicbookworm presents BENEATH THE BANDAGES @MiskatonicIHS at the @horsehospital. Strangely the first time we've examined this iconic & complex critter.
