The History of Weekday Night Bites
Since our formation in July 2020, we have formed a strong and distinct identity within the horror studies community both in the UK and internationally. Part of this success is due to our "Weekday Night Bites" events, which have brought together horror scholars from around the globe. Our events have been varied in terms of scope and purpose, from book launches and panel discussions, to retrospectives and workshops.

​Below, you can find information and recordings of previous events.
