[Commlist] CFP: Hidden Horror Histories

*_Hidden Horror Histories: Creativity in the Horror Genre_*
Affiliated with the BAFTSS Horror Studies Special Interest Group, Hidden 
Horror Histories is a new series to be published by Auteur/Liverpool 
University Press focusing on creative individuals in horror screen media 
throughout the genre’s history. The series places particular emphasis on 
the contributions of horror creatives which have not been covered 
extensively in scholarship to date.

There has been some scattered scholarship focused on key creatives 
within the horror media industry, such as individual chapters on horror 
film performers, screenwriters and music composers in broader edited 
collections, and work on producers who have been seen to have made 
exceptional creative contributions to horror film cycles. Hidden Horror 
Histories aims to build and expand substantially upon this smattering of 
work, and to consider this creativity in the context of a variety of 
developments in the horror screen industries.

Possible book topics could include (but are not limited to): key horror 
directors, stars, actors, composers/sound designers, screenwriters, 
video game designers, special effects and make-up artists, costume 
designers, production designers, cinematographers, producers or editors. 
Books for the series can be monographs or edited collections.

A key aim of the series is to commission and publish scholarly work 
which explores creativity in relation to identity and intersectionality 
and how they relate to the shifting structures and opportunities of the 
industry. As such, the series particularly welcomes studies of 
under-represented groups in horror studies – so for example Black 
creatives in horror, women horror producers, queer genre filmmakers, or 
horror production practices in nations and diaspora currently 
under-researched in horror studies.

In line with the objectives of the BAFTSS Horror Studies SIG, the series 
aims for an inclusive approach to scholarship which is responsive to the 
dynamic, evolving nature of the field. This includes encouraging 
proposals from emerging early career researchers or independent 
scholars, interested scholars from outside the discipline, academic 
practitioners, collaborative ventures, and scholars from 
under-represented or marginalised groups.
