\"Freitag_Loiselle<\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Andr\u00e9 Loiselle<\/a>\"\" and Gina Freitag<\/a>\"\", The Canadian Horror Film: Terror of the Soul <\/strong>features essays by several genre and media writers. I’m delighted my contribution, an essay on the seminal forest slasher Rituals<\/strong> (1977), is in great company, nestled alongside fellow Rue Morgue scribes like James Burrell<\/a>, Andrea Subissati<\/a>\"\", and Paul Corupe\"\"<\/a> – plus sage authors Kier-La Janisse<\/a>\"\" and Caelum Vatnsdal<\/a>\"\" and more.<\/p>\n
