Congratulations @KajaFranck! Can't wait to read this!
It only took me six years but I finally published something on my ongoing interest in trolls. Thank you to @Sylvan_Solace for providing the original inspiration at a conference on Gothic Nature.

I would really recommend the following journal: gothicnaturejournal.com/, and everything @Sylvan_Solace does. Then Simon Estok and Tom J. Hillard's work in this area. And @DawnKeetley's work on plant horror.
