Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. All monsters need feeding. Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Loving the genre still prompts the question: what’s wrong with you? Implying, of course, that there is something not quite right about the people who make and consume it.
In Feeding the Monster, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power. Anna will be in conversation about the book at this event.
Connection is a Song is a poetic, funny and relatable coming-of-age story set to the sounds of the 1990s. It travels from Sinead O’Connor’s impossibly mournful ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ to the delirium of the KLF’s ‘3 a.m. Eternal’ via the guitar heart of the decade where Elastica’s ‘Connection’ beats Blur and Oasis in Anna’s own Battle of Britpop.
Our resident reggae sound system host their first event of the year: a celebration of what would have been the 80th birthday of the king of reggae music – Bob Marley! We pay tribute to the legacy of the globally renowned, musical and cultural icon the only way we know how!
