[Rodgers, Diane]

 

Dear colleagues,

I would like to let you know about a new Bloomsbury Academic Series, Spectres, Hauntings and Horrors, for which I am pleased to be a member of the editorial board. The series editors are happy to receive ideas and proposals for new books - please see flyer attached (and feel free to circulate!). 

The series is already off to a very good start with two books already commissioned and two further proposals currently being reviewed. The first book, which was part of the commissioning process, is Eighteenth Century Folk Horror: Roots, Representations and Returns, being written by editors Professor Robert Edgar, and Dr Adam James Smith, both from York St John University. The second is a collected edition titled Haunted Writing: Stories from the Borders of Fiction and Non-Fiction, being edited by Dr Helen Pleasance and Robert Edgar.
