#horrorstudies — Public Fediverse posts

Last week I binge-watched The Burroughs on Netflix, and this past week I saw Backrooms in theaters, so now I have two talk proposals in my head just waiting for upcoming conferences. #HorrorStudies #AcademicChatter

Because 'we exist in a sea of powerful stories'. Stories shape us, move us, and sometimes… they rise from the deep with teeth and scales. 🖤🐟🧟‍♀️

Even though it has been a while since I last spoke about Leroux’s world, it never really left me. I have been diving into Erik’s backstory by the hand of Susan Kay, author of Phantom. This has been my most difficult reading to date, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the worst.

#CallForPapers: Current Research in #SpeculativeFiction

Whether it is #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, or #Horror, speculative fiction allows us to imagine new worlds, for authors and readers to fully engage their imaginations with what is beyond our current capabilities or comprehension. We build up Earth in beauty and destruction. We think of distant new planets or dimensions, radical and fantastical species, and find that even in the darkest dystopias there is something to learn. For CRSF’s 14th year, this #hybrid offline/ #OnlineEvent seeks to generate interdisciplinary discussions of growth in speculative fiction, exploring the theme in its many different guises.
