Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Motherhood has long been idealized as a site of unconditional love, sacrifice, and renewal, yet the horror genre reveals its darker undercurrents-- the spaces where fear, violence, and survival converge. This collection embraces horror as an interdisciplinary lens to examine the cultural contradictions and emotional realities of mother/hoods. Our contributors explore how maternal figures are imagined, troubled, resisted, and reclaimed across cultures, time, narrative forms, and genres.
