Paracinema Issue 8
Issue 8 of Paracinema is now available. It's hard to believe the magazine is now on it's eighth issue! It's not so hard to believe that it's still as great a publication as it's ever been and just as lovingly put together, designed and compiled by a dedicated and passionate hard-core of individuals.
Amongst the staggering array of pieces included in the pages of issue 8 are the following: War May Be Hell, But a Sequel Is Purgatory: Thematic Combat With Battle Royale II: Requiem by Emily Intravia, Love, Loss, and Astounding Growth in The Incredible Shrinking Man and Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman by Jessie Robie and The Serial Killer’s Mind: Comparing and Contrasting the Male Psyches in Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer by Brantley Palmer.

Question: I'm currently planning a paper on horror/magic/bizarre magick and would love to do a little sideline article for Paracinema on HG Lewis' The Wizard of Gore. Has anyone done a piece on that yet? I've browsed through the back issues, but wanted to make sure.
Paracinema is such a cool magazine - you'd be really quite lucky to find similar content elsewhere, and your paper, which by the way sounds pretty interesting - a topic I've not really come across much on my travels - would find a great home within it's pages. An interview with HG Lewis was published in Paracinema a few issues back - though I don't remember off hand if they've done anything about Wizard of Gore specifically since then. Why not drop them a line and pitch your idea? They're a lovely bunch and are always glad to hear from writers interested in contributing features. You can email Christine at christine@paracinema.net
Best of luck with your paper - and best wishes for 2010.

best wishes to you, too, and many thanks for the information! The magic/bizarre magick angle is not too easy to find. I ran into two bizarre magicians at a conference last year, where I was presenting on haunted attractions, which is when I first learned about it.
It is a very interesting field, though, with (in my opinion) a lot of links to horror. The deadline for the paper is set at the end of March; if you're interested, I can let you know if/when it's published.
This site may also be of interest to you - its sort of a social networking site for those involved in the study of 'cult cinema' - http://cultmediastudies.ning.com/
Best wishes.
Shameless plug, and to give you an idea of the issues I'm researching: my first article was published just before Christmas and can be found here: http://irishgothichorrorjournal.homestead.com/HauntedAttractions.html
Best wishes - and thanks again!
