The inaugural Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference in 2017
was a tremendous success and saw many presentations covering various aspects of
horror studies. It is the goal with the second conference to continue the

to expand the scholarship on various facets of horror that proliferates in:

- Comics
- Literature
- Music
- Poetry
- Television
- Video Games
- Etc.
We invite papers that take an interdisciplinary approach
to their subject matter and can apply a variety of lenses and frameworks, such
as, but not limited to:
- Auteur theory
- Close textual analysis
- Comparative analysis
- Cultural and ethnic
- Fandom and fan studies
- Film studies
- Folklore
- Gender/LGBT studies
- Historic analysis
- Interpretations
- Linguistic
- Literature studies
- Media and communications
