The collection Evil Seeds - The Ultimate Movie Guide to Villainous Children (edited by Vanessa Morgan) is out now

https://www.amazon.com/Evil-Seeds-Ultimate-Villainous-Children/dp/B09CRM3KKN

I contributed sections on Plac Zabaw/Playground (2016) and Ils/Them (2006)...

I also participated in a roundtable discussion about Slasher Studies alongside Wickham Clayton, Joan Hawkins and Murray Leeder. Here is a link to that discussion:

My thanks to the organisers - Wickham Clayton and Daniel Sheppard  - for inviting me to contribute to this event
