The posts keep on coming ...

A project which started back in the spring of 2015 has finally come to its conclusion—the volume Intermedia Games—Games Inter Media, co-edited with Jeff Thoss. This was quite a test of endurance, as we had to battle numerous changes in the author lineup. A big "thank you" to Jeff for making this project worthwile, to all of our authors, especially the ones who persevered from beginning till the end, and to Bloomsbury's media studies team.

Astrid Ensslin (Professor in Digital Humanities and Game Studies at the University of Alberta and author of The Language of Gaming and Literary Gaming) was kind enough to provide the jacket endorsement:
"Intermedia Games—Games Inter Media is a much-needed compendium of videogames' multi-dimensional trans-, re-, and intermedial influences and cross-pollinations. The volume brings together a plethora of views from which the complex, dynamic, and often idiosyncratic relationships between games and other media might be approached. The book will thus serve as a key reference to anyone interested in media histories and ecologies, ludonarratology, networked societies, transmedia storytelling, digital textualities, multimodality, and beyond."
