Cover reveal and preorder link.

I wrote a book about food and ecocriticism in #folkhorror films, out early 2026 from McFarland Books.

Preorder links make good spooky season gifts for the ecocrit professor haunting your department.

my dream essay is about folk horror films in the communist bloc near the end of the Cold War, and LOKIS is the fundamental text, more them VIY even. it's so good

i think longing is key to both, which isn't necessary queer but raises questions to be sure. both would be the best of all possible worlds, but ambivalence is a great place to start that doesn't exclude julia per se

this and NOVEMBER seem to treat class and folklore in very similar ways. nobles are atmospheric, but not absolute, in both

OK there has to be a queer reading to this, right? the way those lads eyes each other at the wedding?

my brain goes immediately to the communism of it all, where red is the revolution, where noble wealth is redistributed, but also that could be a stretch!
