OVERVIEW
Monstrum 5, Issue 2, is the first in our shift to biannual publication. Going forward, each December issue of Monstrum will be a special issue focused on a guiding theme and guest-edited by leading and upcoming scholars in the field of horror media. Monstrum welcomes guest editors Sonia Lupher and our CORÉRISC colleague Alanna Thain, who have put together a robust, globally-focused collection of essays on the topic of short-form horror. These discussions and analyses cover short films, television, and even commercial movie trailers. This issue of Monstrum is also the first to include videographic essays. All content is available in downloadable PDFs. Videographic essays also feature a written component. Scroll down below to browse the contents of this issue of Monstrum.
