Guide Dog Books has announced that they’ve accepted my non-fiction book, The Popular Uncanny, for publication in 2008-9. The Popular Uncanny studies the mass marketing of nostalgia and terror in postmodern media culture, and features chapters on: the doppelganger in advertising, films featuring dismembered hands, Stephen King’s fiction, and uncanny multimedia online. An early version of this title served as my doctoral dissertation at the University of Oregon; I’ll be updating it over the year ahead.
