Critical Plant Studies, a book series published by Lexington Books, an imprint of Bloomsbury Books, an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield, calls us to re-examine in fundamental ways our understanding of and engagement with plants, drawing on diverse disciplinary perspectives. A sampling of topics appropriate for this series includes but is not limited to:

Terrifier 3 (in cinemas at the time of sharing this call) has defied all expectations, attracting widespread commercial and critical success, and becoming the number one film in the USA. Since the creation of Art the Clown in the short film The 9th Circle in 2008, the Terrifier franchise has gone from strength to strength, challenging some of the fundamental assumptions underpinning Hollywood filmmaking over this period. Damien Leone’s films, boasting low budgets, a grindhouse aesthetic and an impressive level of envelope-pushing gore (bolstered explicitly by practical effects), have turned Art and Sienna into modern horror icons and continued to unashamedly appeal to genre fans.

Whether he strove for alternance or interdependence between the terms “grotesque” and “arabesque” which he used to categorize his own narratives, critics such as G. R. Thompson and Dennis Eddings have argued that the former – more visible in tales such as “King Pest,” “Some Words with a Mummy,” “Lionizing,” and “Loss of Breath” -  underscored the carnivalesque, the satirical, and the hoaxical.
