Horror Studies 14.2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Horror Studies 14.2 is out now!

Special issue: ‘Folk Horror’

This Special Issue of Horror Studies aims, among other things, to interrogate the ‘folkness’ of folk horror. Seeking to identify folk horror’s ‘folk’ also forces a re-engagement with horror itself, famously intractable and irreducible to convenient scholarly definitions.
