I’ve decided to spend the final months of 2020 knuckling down on a few projects in particular, and one of these is my book Thoughts and Fears: Essays on Horror and Culture. I haven’t yet pinned down all of the topics I’ll be writing about, but at this point, I can confirm that the essays in the book will include…
- Lost Boys and Girls Next Door: Jack Ketchum on Film
- Fascist Ghosts: Racism and the Far Right in British Horror
- The Life and Times of Countess Zaleska, Dracula’s Daughter
- I Was a Teenage Stanist: My Immortal, The Last Resurrection and Millenial Adolescence
- Wary in Wonderland: Christina Henry’s Alice and Red Queen
- Cartoon Nightmares: Creepypasta, Elsagate and Pup Culture Horror Online
- Corpses in Cottingley: The Folk Horror of Alison Littlewood
- Fish Fingered: The Sex Life of the Creature from the Black Lagoon
- Jack Chick’s Unhappy Halloween
- Poltergeist Girls: Hauntings, Possession and Coming of Age
- Streets Blue and Red: The Vampire Comics of Nancy A. Collins
- Giving Cthulhu Forty Whacks: Cherie Priest’s The Borden Dispatches
