Horror & Enchantment
an interdisciplinary working group
Coordinated by Kenneth Mills and Kris Lane —and developing since 2018-2019— Horror & Enchantment gathers a distinguished band of humanities and social science scholars with two aims: to explore the entwinement of horror and enchantment; and to tell the past differently.
