EDITORIAL
Horror Studies
is a biannually published journal committed to the show-casing of high-quality research on all cultural manifestations of horror, fromthe more familiar forms it assumes in literature and film, through to such less-er-known modes of expression as fashion, dance, fine art, music and technol-ogy. Firmly interdisciplinary in its orientations,
Horror
Studies
aims to extendboth the formal study and the informal appreciation of horror into hithertooverlooked critical terrains, seeking in the process to appeal not only to theinternational academic community, but also to enthusiasts of the horror modemore generally. Bound neither by particular generic concerns nor by forms of horror as they might be confined to a particular cultural or historical locale,the journal strives for a certain inclusiveness. The breadth of our interests, wehope, is reflected in this, our inaugural issue.The Advisory Board of
Horror
Studies
is composed of internationally rec-ognised experts in the field, and each contribution to the journal has beensubjected to a rigorous process of anonymous peer-review. As our Notes forContributors indicate,
Horror
Studies
is more concerned with letting the rhe-torical needs of any particular piece determine its length than prescribing anideal word-count for all submissions. We aim to give as equal a press to new and upcoming scholars as we do to more established researchers in the field.It is anticipated that future volumes of
Horror
Studies
will include a stimu-lating mix of scholarly articles and reviews of books, DVDs, computer gamesand other relevant media. Published material submitted to
Horror Studies
forcritical review, including academic monographs, books and DVDs of interest, will be distributed to suitably qualified readers; queries and ideas concerning the publication of longer review articles on appropriate material should beaddressed to the Managing Editor.The Editors
