A new month means a new theme for our recommendations! Of course, October means this month will be focused on all things spooky and paranormal. Join us as we highlight titles that deal with Hell, monsters, horror, and alterity. Let's kick it off with "Monsters in Society" by Rebecca Merkelbach!

From studying Business to researching Scandinavian literature, cassidycroci.bsky.social took an unconventional path to follow her passion for Vikings and medieval texts. Today, she is on a research stay at unituebingen.bsky.social, supported by the Humboldt Research Fellowship. bit.ly/4qEJgiI

🧵 A reminder #OTD that 'Hardrada' makes no sense in any language. The Norwegian king who died at Stamford Bridge in #1066 was called Haraldr harðráði in Old Norse. Such bynames or nicknames can (and should) usually be translated. His means something like 'Hard Ruler' or 'Stern Ruler'.
