'Playing with Fire' by Arthur Conan Doyle with Dr. Emily Vincent.
In Series 5, Episode 9 join me, Adam Z. Robinson, and my guest, Dr Emily Vincent, as we discuss 'Playing with Fire' by Arthur Conan Doyle. Dr Emily Vincent is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in English Literature at the University of Birmingham. As part of the Media and Epidemics project, Emily is co-writing a book on imaginative representations of influenza in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British periodicals and fiction. Emily holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Birmingham. Her first monograph (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press) explores how women navigate maternal grief in fin-de-siècle ghost stories by examining loss, spiritualism, and maternity. In 2024, Emily compiled and edited Summoned to the Séance: Spirit Tales from Beyond the Veil, a collection of spiritualism-inspired ghost stories for British Library Publishing as part of their ‘Tales of the Weird’ series. You can find Emily on Bluesky @dremilyvincent@bsky.social.   THE GHOST STORY BOOK CLUB: LIVE-STREAMED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL Tuesday 9 Dec, 7pm Book here: http://gsbcxmas2025.eventbrite.com/ Join me for this Christmas Special of The Ghost Story Book Club, live-streamed on Zoom.
