*Fearful Sounds: Cross-Platform Studies of Audio and Horror*

**

Guest Editor: Danielle Barrios-O’Neill (Falmouth University)

In recent years there has been an abundance of fascinating scholarship 
emerging on topics related to sound and horror, particularly in areas 
engaging podcasts, gaming, and transmedia narrative. This special 
edition of /Revenant/ invites submissions reflecting on the 
relationships between sound and fear, aurality and horror, the audio 
experience and the supernatural. We are interested in explorations of 
sound in the (broadly defined) horror genre of media and text, seeking 
new, inventive and risky approaches to the topic of sound.

We welcome scholarly articles and creative submissions on sound/aurality 
topics including, but not limited to:

·Horror gaming and game design

·Weird podcasts

·Horror/supernatural series (eg. /The Walking Dead; Stranger Things; 
Black Mirror/)

·True crime documentary & podcasting

·Transmedia storytelling

·Post-terror audio experiences

·Horror and affect theory

·Evolution of sound effects

·Pattern and noise

·Apocalyptic and/or dystopian ambient sound

·Void aesthetics and silence

·Sound installations

·The horror soundtrack

·Sound and torture

·Auditory hallucinations

·Sound as biofeedback

We especially encourage creative pieces on the above topics. As an 
online journal we have the capability to embed audio files, and would 
welcome sound-based as well as text-based submissions.

Please include a short biographical note with your submission (for each 
author), giving job title and institution, a sentence or two on ongoing 
research interests, and a contact email.

Abstract submission deadline: 1 March 2017
Article submission deadline: 3 July 2017
