The latest addition to LUP's Critical Conversations in Horror Studies series is Youth Horror and the Question of Fear, edited by Kyle Brett and Ethan Robles. Congratulations to both on this work, and to Dawn Keetley for another addition to this stellar series! 🎉

Focusing on programs from the 1970s to the early 2000s, this volume explores televised youth horror as a distinctive genre that affords children productive experiences of fear. Led by intrepid teenage investigators and storytellers, series such as Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Are You Afraid of the Dark show how young people can effectively confront the terrifying, alienating, and disruptive aspects of human existence. The contributors analyze how televised youth is uniquely positioned to encourage young viewers to interrogate—and often reimagine—constructs of normativity. Approaching the home as a particularly dynamic viewing space for young audiences, this book attests to the power of televised horror as a domain that enables children to explore larger questions about justice, human identity, and the preconceptions of the adult world.

In celebration of the announcement that the Moravian Settlements are now recognized as one of the Unesco World Heritage Sites , we want to highlight some of the works that LUP has published on Moravian history.

Up first, The Journals of the Moravian Mission to Georgia, 1734-1737 edited by Mercer University scholars Achim Kopp and John Thomas Scott. Published in 2023 this book brings to light journals that had once been accessible only to those who could travel to a remote archive in Germany (and read the "archaic" script!).🙏🙌
