Submissions may consider Peele’s work as a writer, director, and/or producer as it falls within the scope of the journal’s purview; representations of the supernatural, the speculative, the uncanny, and the weird. Writers may focus on any of Peele’s works, with preference given to Get Out, Us, Candyman, Lovecraft Country, or any speculative or genre works that come out between now and the publication of this issue. Papers may center any topics, but special attention will be paid to Black masculinity, Black femininity, the way that comedy informs horror (and vice versa) within his work, Black bodies in abject horror, historical context and legacy, obscure nuances, and hidden easter eggs. Likewise, articles can put Peele’s work in conversation with other genre works, film makers, literature, and histories of Black horror.
