INVITATION AND OVERVIEW

I am putting together a book collection of essays on The X-Files and Literature. I am looking for essays of 20-40 pages that explore The X-Files' revision and adaptation of literature and literary conventions, literary works or forms that anticipate the major traits that make The X-Files what it is, and the television program's reflexive influence on other forms of literature or 20/21st-century adaptations of literature. Please submit an abstract of 250-500 words by 6/04/06 to:
Sharon R. Yang, Ph. D.
