We can't wait to welcome Virginia Feito to the shop to discussion her gruesomely brilliant new novel VICTORIAN PSYCHO, which probes the psyche of a bloodthirsty governess in Victorian England. Virginia will be in conversation with Xavier Aldana Reyes, a founder of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect Victorian governess. She'll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But the longer Winifred spends within the estate's dreary confines and the more she learns of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family, the more trouble she has sticking to her plan. Whether creeping across the moonlit lawns in her undergarments or gently tormenting the house staff, Winifred struggles at every turn to stifle the horrid compulsions of her past until her chillingly dark imagination breaches the feeble boundary of reality on Christmas morning. Wielding her signature sardonic wit and a penchant for the gorgeously macabre, Virginia Feito returns with a vengeance in Victorian Psycho. About the author: Raised in Madrid and Paris, Virginia Feito studied English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London. Her first novel, Mrs. March, was published in 2021. She writes for Vanity Fair Spain. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book.

It is the oldest bookstore in Oxford University. The appearance is inconspicuous but the inside is very spacious. The layout is also very British. Of course, the most popular is the Harry Potter series, the &quot;Lord of the Rings&quot; series by Oxford professor John Tolkien. Professor C. S. Lewis of Oxford, The Legend of Narnia

Bridge of Sighs

陌染MM

The Bridge of Sighs (Oxford University, UK) is officially called Hertford Bridge. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. The construction of the Bridge of Sighs began in 1913 (completed in 1914). It crosses New College Road and connects the old and new parts of Hertford College. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. It was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. Because the bridge is similar to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, it is called the Bridge of Sighs. I came to Oxford University with a tour group and could only take a quick look.
