What can you say when you read last October newsletter in January the next year? :D This is me; way behind with pretty much all my emails. As a Halloween enthusiast I was especially drawn to your text on Dickens. Indeed, I wonder how should one believe in the supernatural through a scientific lens. It immediately made me think of the last volume of The Wimbourne Book of Victorian Ghosts I've read (vol. 5). The essay included tells the reader how 'developments' such as the new Spiritualist societies were changing the very way people wrote and talked about ghosts.

I miss London's museums and galleries so thanks for providing such an engaging glimpse into the Dickens and Freud exhibitions. Not sure if I could cope with Bones and All, I get unsettled reading M R James.
