About Us
Hannah Latham
Weaver of Dreams // Head EditorHannah Latham is a PhD student at the University of Liverpool. Her doctoral thesis focuses on the mytheme of katabatic journeys in contemporary Anglo-American fiction and the conceptualisation of hellspaces. Her research interests include mythology, body horror, speculative fiction, and psychoanalysis. Hannah is also a graduate teaching assistant at the University and runs her own freelance tutoring business. She is currently writing her new novel, and at any given moment can be found drawing, playing video games, watching anime, or embroidering.

Her other interests include mythopoeia, speculative fiction and horror, and she has written the first draft of a Victorian eco-gothic novel. Outside of literary or academic pursuits, Alex plays the Celtic harp, has two grey cats with pretentious names and wishes her wardrobe looked like Alexander McQueen had designed the costumes for a 1940s film noir.
