Introduction: We Make Our Own Monsters

Authors

  • Morna McNulty Towson University
  • Chris Osmond Appalachian State University

Abstract

The special issues editors, devote this special issue of JCT to the theme of monsters— vampires, ghosts, aliens, and anything that identifies as more-than-human, less-than-human, post-human, sub-human, or non-human. In other words, it is the turning of what “is” human sideways, burying, killing, or transforming our Westernized dominant mythos of “humanism” in favor of something…otherwise.
