[ecrea] New Series - Horror Studies

*NEW SERIES – HORROR STUDIES*

*
*

The Horror Studies series from the University of Wales Press is the
first series ever exclusively dedicated to the study of the genre in all
its various manifestations. The new series aims to explore the steady
and ever-growing interest in Horror – from fiction to cinema and
television, magazines to comics, and stretching to other forms of
narrative texts such as video games or music. Horror Studies aims to
raise the profile of Horror in the process of institutionalising its
academic study by providing a publishing home for cutting-edge academic
writing and by presenting introductions to key periods, figures and
texts in the field. As an exciting new venture within UWP’s established
Cultural Studies and Literary Criticism programme, Horror Studies will
expand the field of interest in the dark, the macabre and the scary in
both innovative and student-friendly ways.

Individual titles will ideally be:

·Original monographs or edited collections of around 80,000 words.

·Aimed at scholars and students, with some aimed to extend to a wider
audience.

·National, international or transnational in scope.

·Interdisciplinary, where appropriate.

Possible individual titles might explore:

·Underresearched periods, figures and texts of Horror literature and film.

·Key Horror periods, figures and texts in need of repositioning or
rethinking.

·Areas of popular culture beyond the literary, filmic and televisual
(i.e. video games, fandom).

·National Horror traditions.

·Specific and significant horror subgenres or thematics.

The series is happy to consider doctoral dissertations that may be
revised and developed into monographs.
