For some time now I’ve been working on an essay at WWAC about racism and portrayals of far right politics in British horror fiction; the thing became do long that I had to split it into three instalments. Part one has just gone live, and is something of a prologue: while the later instalments will focus on the postwar far right, the first part looks at racial dehumanisation in pre-war horror and the question of whether horror is an inherently reactionary genre. I hope that my readers will find something of value there.
