Although\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0<\/em>creator Sydney Newman wanted his show to be educational and avoid so-called \u201cbug-eyed monsters,\u201d the popularity of the Daleks in the second serial ensured that it would be better known for scaring kids into hiding behind the sofa.\u00a0 Adaptable as the science-fiction program is to fit a variety of other genres (e.g. the Western, screwball comedy, romance, period drama), horror dominates its cultural memory and ongoing practice.\u00a0 While there have been some critical essays over the years examining this aspect of the show, no book has been devoted to a more sustained examination of the generic work of horror in\u00a0Doctor Who.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>This edited collection will remedy that absence.<\/p>\n

More specifically, this book will serve as a thoughtful examination of the ways\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>\u00a0operates\u00a0in the horror genre<\/strong>, in its complication of generic definitions, its ideological work, and its relation to fandom.\u00a0 Emerging and advanced scholars are invited to submit chapters exploring broadly an aspect of horror in classic and\/or modern\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>,as well as in-depth examinations of particular episodes. I am especially interested in having the following subtopics and\/or episodes represented within the collection but welcome submissions on other matters as well:<\/p>\n

Body horror<\/p>\n

Fear of technology<\/p>\n

Fan experience (hiding behind the sofa, etc.)<\/p>\n
