πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ I'm very pleased to share that my chapter on the Zombie Mermaid has been published as part of the new edited volume "Deconstructing the Zombie: Cultural and Ideological Approaches".

Warm thanks to the editors, Cristina and Alfonso, for guiding this ambitious project to fruition β€” and for inviting me to be a small part of it.

Looking for a fun Halloween πŸŽƒ or autumn πŸ‚ gift for a friend?

Why not consider one of the companions edited by Simon Bacon!

I contributed to "For The Undead in the 21st Century" with a chapter on the Zombie Mermaid πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ, and to "The Deep" with a piece on Posidaeja 🌊.

Both books are published by Peter Lang and are available on their website. Perfect for anyone who loves a spooky read or a dive into dark fantasy! πŸ‘»πŸ“š

Luckily, I'm still a little under the weather and feverish, as now I need a looooooot of time alone, under a cosy blanket, with hot chocolate and this great book! So many fascinating thoughts to ponder upon... 😊

Very proud that my essay on the #zombiemermaid was included, amongst the works of scholars I admire so much. Thanks a lot, Simon! 🌼🌸🌺
