Editorial Reviews
Intriguing, engaging, and filled with significant insights into the developing conversation about Global Indigenous Horror, this volume brings together a variety of diverse topics and voices. Global Indigenous Horror challenges settler scholar assumptions and proposes new theories and models for evaluating contemporary Indigenous Horror.
Cailín E. Murray, associate professor of anthropology at Ball State University
This volume balances Indigenous theories of narrative and cosmology with Western theories of Gothic and Horror in productive ways, and the contributions give new insights into popular creators while drawing attention to less-well-studied texts that deserve critical attention. Global Indigenous Horror is a timely and welcome addition to the growing field of Indigenous Horror studies.
Judith Leggatt, associate professor of English at Lakehead University
