When reality becomes fantastic, what literary effects will render it credible or comprehensible? To respond meaningfully to the surreality of the Holocaust, writers must produce works of moral and emotional complexity. One way they have achieved this is through elements of fantasy.Covering a range of theoretical perspectives, this collection of essays explores the use of fantastic story-telling in Holocaust literature and film. Writers such as Jane Yolen and Art Spiegelman are discussed, as well as the sci-fi television series V (1983), Stephen King's novella Apt Pupil (1982), Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and Martin Scorsese's dark thriller Shutter Island (2010).

Since the publication of Dracula in 1897, Bram Stoker's original creation has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and filmmakers. From Universal's early black-and-white films and Hammer's Technicolor representations that followed, iterations of Dracula have been cemented in mainstream cinema. This anthology investigates and explores the far larger body of work coming from sources beyond mainstream cinema reinventing Dracula.Draculas, Vampires and Other Undead Forms assembles provocative essays that examine Dracula films and their movement across borders of nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, gender, and genre since the 1920s. The essays analyze the complexity Dracula embodies outside the conventional landscape of films with which the vampire is typically associated. Focusing on Dracula and Dracula-type characters in film, anime, and literature from predominantly non-Anglo markets, this anthology offers unique perspectives that seek to ground depictions and experiences of Dracula within a larger political, historical, and cultural framework.

This anthology comprises essays that study the form, aesthetics and representations of LGBTQ+ identities in an emerging sub-genre of film and television that we term 'New Queer Horror.' New Queer Horror designates horror that is crafted by directors/producers who identify as gay, bi, queer or transgendered, or works that feature homoerotic or explicitly homosexual narratives with 'out' LGBTQ+ characters. Unlike other studies, this anthology argues that New Queer Horror projects contemporary anxieties within LGBTQ+ subcultures onto its characters and into its narratives, building upon the previously figurative role of Queer monstrosity in the moving image. New Queer Horror thus highlights the limits of a metaphorical understanding of queerness in the horror film in an age where its presence has become more unambiguous. Ultimately, this anthology aims to show that 'New Queer Horror' has in recent years turned the focus of fear on itself, on its own communities and subcultures.

As Carol A. Senf has noted of some of Bram Stoker’s less prominent fictions in Science and Social Science in Bram Stoker’s Fiction (2002), they often occupy an elusive place, “a realm that is not precisely Gothic but that is somehow beyond the scientific and rational world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.” The present anthology demonstrates how even Stoker’s nonfictive works, including his jokes, often find themselves at home in the elusive realm of which Senf is here speaking. After more than six years of archival inquiry, the editors present here nineteen previously unknown or relatively unglimpsed published letters, works of short fiction, and journalistic writing by Stoker (1847-1912), including “Gibbet Hill” (1890), a Gothic short story the editors discovered in 2016. Additionally, they present fifty-five other unknown period writings by or about Stoker, including interviews, public addresses, speeches, and testimonies. The works in this anthology, together with the extensive research offered in the introduction, prefatory note, and annotations, not only highlight the intertextuality between Dracula and other of Stoker’s works, but support the conclusion that Stoker’s periodical writings indeed denote a much greater force in his literary repertoire than previously accepted. Not surprisingly, many of the works in this anthology exhibit the same curious sprinkling of characteristically delicate Gothicisms and “other knowledges” for which Stoker has become known outside of his ubiquitous vampire novel.

Vad skulle ske ifall farao Kheops mumie uppväcks i ett politiskt oroligt år 2126 och ställer sig i spetsen för striderna? Detta märkliga "tänk om"-scenario uttänktes redan 1826 av Jane Loudon, en ung engelsk författarinna. Hennes futuristiska roman The Mummy! blev populär läsning som inspirerade ingen mindre än Edgar Allan Poe. En bestseller som sedan föll i komplett glömska i över 150 år. Detta ingår i en samling artiklar om livet, döden och existentiella frågor, i konst och underhållning -- ofta mot kosmisk bakgrund. Aniara samsas med space opera, Dracula med de samtida dekadenternas dödsromantik. Och den mest dekadente av alla i kretsen runt Oscar Wilde visar sig ha varit en svensk greve, diktaren och skräckförfattaren Eric Stenbock. Några av Sveriges främsta kännare av skräck, fantasy och science fiction samsas på dessa sidor, men också kända utländska namn.
