The latest issue of Gramarye, the journal of the Chichester Centre for Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Speculative Fiction is now out. This journal is always beautifully designed, and the current issue features articles by Sam and myself, from OGOM.
Sam’s article is ‘The mythical interactions between the Pied Piper, Dracula and Nosferatu: Rat kings and the rate as vampiric totem animal’.
And I have this article in the journal: ‘Generic hybridity and the critique of instrumantalism in the enchanted landscapes of Dark Fairy Romance’.
There are many more magical delights in this issue, with fiction and poetry alongside critical essays and book reviews. Of particular interest is Simon Young’s ‘Like a mermaid: The evolution of mermaids in British and Irish similes, 1850–2000. A brilliant essay that would make excellent background reading for OGOM’s September 2005 conference, Sea Changes: The fairytale Gothic of mermaids, selkies, and enchanted hybrids of ocean and river.
