Read more about Douglass's visit to Indianapolis and the pioneering work of Moses Broyles, pastor, educator, and activist, in "We Have a Right to Live in This Country" in our March 2024 issue. #projectmuse #Blackhistory #Baptisthistory #FrederickDouglass #Indiana

The Ark also featured news and stories that connected Lebanese and Syrian immigrants to the larger Arab world. Prof. Edward Curtis's article, published in the March 2024 issue of the IMH, offers a compelling history of a significant, largely unknown, ethnic newspaper in the Midwest. #projectmuse
From our March 2024 issue: Prof. Edward Curtis examines the history of the Syrian Ark, an Indianapolis-based newspaper that, from 1936 to 1954, chronicled Arab, Syrian, and Lebanese midwestern life. Look for the most recent years of the IMH on Project Muse. #projectmuse
On the left, the cover of the latest issue of Studies in the Fantastic, with a full-page collage photo that makes it appear as if a woman is made entirely of bones. Eerie but beautiful.
On the right, David Duchovny as Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully from THE X-FILES. They are standing in a clearing outside a cornfield, dressed in suits, and shrinking back in astonishment from something offscreen.
Studies in the Fantastic is dedicated to spooky TV w/a retrospective on THE X-FILES and its best "monsters of the week" + essays on THE LAST OF US and demon realism. Read #horror #ProjectMuse @jordanscarroll.bsky.social @anyahvdl.bsky.social @gennewman.bsky.social #horror

On the left, a screenshot of the article "Erasing Chicago: A Comparative Analysis of Child's Play (dir. by Tom Holland, 1988) and Child's Play (dir. by Lars Klevberg, 2019)" in plain text. On the right, a still from CHILD'S PLAY (1988) in which Chucky the red-headed killer doll looks menacingly down at a victim, who he's about to beat with the thick yardstick he's wielding.
That Chucky is just a Midwestern guy at heart, don'cha know? Alice Tremea's new essay looks at CHILD'S PLAY (1988 & 2019) and how the city of Chicago is depicted as the host of doll rampage. #ProjectMuse #MiddleWestReview #horror

On the right, a still from the 1966 black-and-white movie SECONDS in which we see through a fish-eye lens a surgical scene. The middle portion of the lens exaggerates the sweaty panic of the patient, gagged on a table, while doctors roam around hm with scary-looking instruments.
GoPro, meet your grandpa: the body-mounted camera. Cooper Long explains the cinematic tech used in John Frankenheimer's surgical sci-fi thriller SECONDS (1966) & later films like REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. In the latest Film History, just landed on #ProjectMuse. #horror

On the left, the cover of issue #16 of Studies in the Fantastic showing a sculpture that vaguely looks like a weathered stone face with its mouth in an open "O." Vaguely unsettling. It is an art piece called “Head on a Bed of Bricks” by Kendra Frorup. On the right, a still from the 2019 film "US" in which an African-American family, led by a mother played by Lupita N'yongo, grabs each other in protection and fear after seeing something frightening.

On the left, a screenshot of the article "In the Defense of Punks and Monsters: Julia Ducournau & Titane." On the right, a still from the beginning of the film TITANE, in which the lead character Alexia (as a young girl) is fitted with a medical brace on her head and shoulders, resembling a crown of thorns.
Maybe it's not *technically* an Xmas movie, but there is a Christ figure, a miraculous birth & a fairy tale ethos. Read Michèle Bacholle's new essay "In the Defense of Punks and Monsters: Julia Ducournau & Titane" in The French Review via #ProjectMuse.

"You start to change when I get in!" THE BABADOOK is often interpreted in terms of grief, but Paul Mitchell sees the shadow of Dissociative Identity Disorder in Amelia's plight. Read his new essay in the journal Literature & Medicine via #ProjectMuse. #horror
