Karra Shimabukuro Publishes Games & Dreams of Horror

Karra Shimabukuro has coming articles in two journals.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Game as Liminal Space" will appear in Intensities Journal and explores the ways in which the game explores and rejects gender stereotypes, how the board game is “coded” for gender, how this compares to the target audience of the show, and how the game navigates and transverses the boundaries of both the source text, and the source genre.

"The Bogeyman of Your Nightmares: Freddy Krueger’s Folkloric Roots" will appear in Studies in Popular Culture in June.
