We've just launched a new endeavor called Popular Preternaturaliana: Studying the Monstrous in Popular Culture at http://popularpreternaturaliana.blogspot.com/. The site is sponsored
by the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Legend Area and (like NEPCA Fantastic) hosted by The
Virtual Society for the Study of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages in the
hopes of providing a place to promote further study and debate of the
preternatural where ever and when ever
it may appear.
In the future, calls for papers and other postings relating to the monstrous, gothic, and horror can be found on the new site.
