It feels ingenious to start each of these entries with a proclamation of surprise, but here we are, it's April. Being a institution with a reputation to uphold, please be assured that there are no pranks or absurdities in this missive from your loyal correspondent regarding the school's activities. I will, however, take a moment to encourage you all to come and join us for something special unfolding over Easter on both our patreon and Black Saturn, so please look forward to that. We are also approaching our anniversary with something that will prove to be both absurd and embarrassing for all involved so keep your eyes keenly peeled for that.
Our little discord community continues to hold events every Friday also, so if you are available, please come along at 20:00 GMT and join our watch party as we delve deep into the mysteries of genre television.
Without your help, we could not keep the school running, and although our headmistress threatens to quit almost every month now, we are still here, and possibly in the best shape we have been in since our debut. Therefore, if you have an interest in odd genre fiction, and divers depictions of a London touched by magic realism, the Esther Greenwood School for Girls is for you. Come and join us!
Yet what have you missed out on this month, you may ask. Exclusively for patrons, we shared a glimpse of one of our upcoming fanzines, a short page asking what might have happened in the moments before the tragedy of the Heaven's Gate mass-suicides in 1997. Meanwhile, closer to home, as recently as yesterday in fact, we posted our love letter to lost youth and Kilburn in sad recollections of moments that may never come again.
Perhaps if that is not your cup of tea and you consider yourself to have more refined taste, then might I attempt to placate you with a story about Brutus, post-Caesar, post-Divine Comedy, and what might have happened next. How's that for some light reading?
Whilst you're snooping about, I also am obliged to recommend our continuing attempts to take trashy H comic tropes really seriously, and, in honour of the anniversary of John Wyndham's birth in March, a look at one of the homunculi named after him from our All Cats Are Beautiful series.
Thank you all once again for your support! For those of you who have not made the leap, we hope that there will be enough in these little missives and public content to at least make you curious. :p
Stay tuned for more news next month, friends!
