Flesh and Bone: Trans Bodies in Horror Fiction.

Join Constance Henry in a talk on Horror’s queer monsters, trans embodiment, and the monster in all of us.

Horror is a genre that always represents the cultural anxieties of a time, and culture is always anxious about sex. From Buffalo Bill to the Body Snatchers, queer and trans people have never struggled to find themselves in the monsters of Horror.

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

Join us for a chat about ideas while having a pint. Meet new people, learn about new things and try something different.

After each talk there’s a live Q&A, drinks, conversation, and a chance to meet new people who are curious about the world and up for a good night out that’s a little different from the usual pub routine.

We’re also looking for new speakers from all kinds of backgrounds. Academics, writers, artists, researchers, comedians, creatives, or anyone deeply obsessed with a topic they love talking about.

If you’ve got an idea that could make for an unforgettable night in the pub, we want to hear it.
