#FairyTaleTuesday 'The Ecogothic Werewolf in Literature,' by Kaja Franck
Using an Ecogothic lens, this book offers a new conceptual framework for the werewolf in literature, recasting the lycanthrope as an emblem for society's fear of untamed wilderness. www.bloomsbury.com/us/ecogothic...

Just me nodding analytically like "Hmmm yes yes I did that on purpose" as various decision points/disasters in the book are compared to suggested tenets of the ecogothic and the persistence of refusal to engage with anthropocentrism/human domination are lauded hmm yes yes
(It was nerve-wracking)

Back to Gothic studies! 🦇🐈⬛️💀
The EcoGothic Werewolf in Literature:
Genuinely an enjoyable read. The author's argument is both extensive and compelling, and shows the importance of hybridity and the werewolf as humankind attempts to imagine a future as a species.

My most recent gothic/horror publication was an article on Cotton Mather and whales: "Biblical Marine Biology: Cotton Mather’s Cetological Exegesis and the Oceanic Ecogothic." Way more fun than it sounds!🐋
It was in the pictured collection.

If this one space opera (not Bunian Empire, but my tri-sail universe) short story ever gets picked up, my publication notes will *not* include the inciting RL encounter (happened on vacation) that inspired it. I'd probably just write around other inspirations and motifs like the ecoGothic elements.

A public-facing article on the ecogothic! Exciting to see the concept move out of academia and into other forums. Not exactly a new idea, though...
The gothic genre, known for its queer roots, is a useful framing in understanding how climate change is haunting us, even when it shows up in beautiful forms.
