Thrilled to get my copies of a book that has meant a lot to my coeditor (Kenneth Chan) and me these past two years. Published by @EdinburghUP, EAST ASIAN FILM REMAKES fills a big gap in cinema studies and features some truly innovative scholarship on the part of the contributors.
My latest essay, "Death By a Thousand Drips: Poisoning as Mechanism and Theme in Contemporary Tabletop Games," has just been published by Analog Game Studies: escholarship.org/uc/item/12v…
The press just posted the cover of my soon-to-be-published book about horror films (details/description forthcoming):
