Let @drstevejones.bsky.social convince you that the postmodern slasher--like the underseen CRY WOLF, RIPPER & LOVER'S LANE--isn't just a SCREAM clone. "The Postmodern Slasher Film" is new from @edinburghup.bsky.social. Aca-priced, so email your library!

28 Days Later started a zombie debate that's still raging today
28 Years Later will bring fast zombies back to cinemas, but some horror fans still think the undead should move at a snail's pace. What do the experts think?

@jplaczkiewicz.bsky.social, our PhD student, recently attended the #horrorNU conference organized by @horrorstudies.bsky.social, Northumbria University. She explored new perspectives in contemporary rape-revenge cinema, focusing on the role of affect & the transformative portrayal of female avengers

Spolis from the easiest peer-review gig I've had:
Q: "Should there be a new edition of Games of Terror?"
A: " Yes please"

Fantastic to see this classic finally back in print

Doing my best to keep up with developments in horror research albeit from my armchair. Less stressful than doing it for a living I'm sure!
