Robert F. Kilker at Kutztown University has a call-for-papers out for “Critical Approaches to Horror in Doctor Who“, to form a book-length collection. The book will aim to be…

“a thoughtful examination of the ways Doctor Who operates in the horror genre, in its complication of generic definitions, its ideological work, and its relation to fandom.”

Studies of particularly famous ‘horror’ episodes seem to be especially welcome. There should be obvious scope for a discussion of Lovecraftian influences, present as late as “Heaven Sent” (Nov 2015) which drew heavily on both recently-discovered and published plot ideas from Lovecraft. Deadline for abstracts: 4th January 2021. There’s no mention of if the book will be Open Access or not, so I assume it’ll be a commercial academic book.
