SUMMARY:Event: ENSFR Reading Group\, October meeting

The next short fiction reading group meeting will take place (via Zoom) on Monday 5th October at 5pm (UK time).

SUMMARY:Event: Classics Book Club at Hatchards\, Piccadilly; Japanese Ghost Stories
DESCRIPTION:The Classics Book Club meets on the first Thursday of each month here at Hatchards\, Piccadilly. This book club will instead take place one week ahead of schedule\, on Thursday\, 29th October. \nThis month’s book is: “Japanese Ghost Stories” by Lafcadio Hearn. \nThe dead wreak revenge on the living\, paintings come alive\, spectral brides possess mortal men and a priest devours human flesh in these chilling Japanese ghost stories retold by a master of the supernatural. \nLafcadio Hearn drew on the phantoms and ghouls of traditional Japanese folklore – including the headless ‘rokuro-kubi’\, the monstrous goblins ‘jikininki’ or the faceless ‘mujina’ who stalk lonely neighbourhoods – and infused them with his own memories of his haunted childhood in nineteenth-century Ireland to create these terrifying tales of striking and eerie power. Today they are regarded in Japan as classics in their own right. \nTickets include £3 off the purchase of next month’s Book Club book. \n

SUMMARY:ENSFR Event: Short Story Anthologies Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:This ENSFR event brings together leading voices in contemporary short‑story scholarship. Chaired by Elke D’hoker\, this session features Paul Delaney (Trinity College\, Ireland) and Aleix Tura‑Vecino (University of Glasgow\, UK)\, both of whom have recently published major studies on the short‑story anthology: Anthologisation and Irish Short Fiction: Magnitudes of Telling (Routledge 2025) and The Short Story Anthology and Women’s Writing (Routledge 2025). \nEach speaker will discuss the research behind their books — from the evolution of anthology practices to the cultural\, political and editorial questions that shape how short stories are collected and presented. Together\, the panel will explore current debates in anthology studies and reflect on where the field is heading.  \nTo join this online event\, please click on the Teams link below.

SUMMARY:Event: The Short Story in the Transnational Press (XIX-XXI Centuries)\, Bilingual Study Day
DESCRIPTION:The Journal of the Short Story in English (JSSE) and the Transfopress Research Network are hosting a bilingual study day / journée d’étude in Paris\, France (venue to be announced) on Friday\, 2 April 2027\, focusing on “The Short Story in the Transnational Press (XIX-XXI Centuries).” For over forty years the JSSE has been publishing research on the short story; and for over a decade\, the Transfopress Research Network has been studying the emergence and expansion of transnational newspapers\, magazines\, and other media communicated in languages other than the official languages of the countries where they are produced. The recent publication of The Transnational British Press in Non-Anglophone Countries\, 1800–1914 [google.com] (University of Edinburgh Press\, edited by Diana Cooper-Richet\, Isabelle Richet\, Jennifer Hayward\, and Michelle Prain-Brice ) has uncovered the rich history of the transnational English-language press over the long nineteenth century. It is therefore an opportune time to take a closer look at the role of the short story within this press as well as expanding the geographical and historical scope of study. We plan to have a half day focusing on the short story in the transnational press in English and a half day focusing on the transnational press in other languages\, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. The following are some suggestions for questions that might be explored: \n\nWhich short-fiction writers are being published in this press?\nWhich genres of short stories are being published in this press?\nAre the stories original publications\, reprints\, piracies\, translations\, or the first seeds of later stories or larger works?\nAre there overlooked or forgotten stories to be uncovered in this press?\nWhat role is there for the amateur author and the short story competition in this press?\nHow might these stories be serving the communities these publications support?\n\nPapers can be delivered in English or in French. Please submit a 250-word abstract of your paper and short 50-word biography by 16 November 2026 to colette.colligan@univ-angers.fr\, gerald.preher@univ-artois.fr\, and diana.cooper-richet@uvsq.fr. We will respond within a couple of weeks to announce which papers have been selected for the study day. This event is organised in partnership with the ‘Nouvelles et formes brèves’ research group\, which is part of the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche sur les patrimoines en langues et en littératures (CIRPaLL) at the University of Angers.
