Her book Gothic Remixed (Bloomsbury, 2020) examines contemporary remix culture through the lens of monster studies, and her co-edited collection Embodying Contagion (UWP / NWO Gold Open Access, 2021) explores how fantastical metaphors of contagion have infiltrated the way news media, policymakers and the general public view the real world and the people within it. Megen is also an editor of the Genealogy of the Posthuman, an Open Access initiative curated by the Critical Posthumanism Network. Read more about Megen’s work on her blog: frankenfiction.com.
