Horror Girls: United States & Canada arrives under the WomanInFan label and invites us to travel through two key territories where the monstrous, the supernatural and the unsettling have been shaped by the female gaze. From the silent days of Lois Weber to the global phenomenon of The Walking Dead produced by Gale Anne Hurd, this collective essay plots out a tenebrous and fascinating map, celebrating the talent of women creators in the history of genre.

The authors are Ángel Sala, Heidi Honeycutt, Shelagh Rowan-Legg, Amanda Reyes, Alexandra West and Paul Corupe all under the baton of Mònica García i Massagué.

Risas y escalofríos (Laughter and Chills) is a collective essay that deals with two motivations that, in principle, are antagonistic: fear and laughter, this year's leitmotiv. And yet, there they are, intertwined, defying aesthetic categories, contaminating genres and questioning our ways of perceiving. The confluence of horror and laughter has generated not only new ways of narrating, but also new ways of feeling and thinking. This journey includes the classics, campy excess, the gore carnival, lucid satire and rewrites of the ironic monster.

The authors are Violeta Kovacsics, Lluís Rueda, Guillermo Triguero, Víctor Matellano and Gerard Casau, under the coordination of Jordi Sánchez-Navarro and Ángel Sala.
