Suburban Phantasmagoriana: Making Monsters in Times of Crisis

Join us for an evocative exploration of the monsters that lurk in our homes and cultures in "Suburban Phantasmagoriana: Making Monsters in Times of Crisis." Media and Monster scholar, Carrie Russpatrick delves into personal recollections growing up in a seemingly haunted suburban home, where fear and imagination intertwined with the harsh realities of a world in turmoil—from the terror of a deteriorating family environment to the resonating threats of climate change and societal upheaval.

Come to Prismatic Pages this Halloween season to enjoy a mixture of ghost story and academic lecture to unearth the layers of meaning within the "monstrous" and learn how, together, we can redefine our relationship with that which frightens us most.
