A note from the Monstrum editorial team

The recent illness and passing of Guest-Editor Dayna McLeod’s wife MJ in the fall of 2024 resulted in a shift in editorial supervision of Monstrum’s December 2024 issue. It was Dayna’s original vision that statements prepared by the peer reviewers be published along with the creators’ statements for each video essay in this special issue. Though a rigorous, anonymous peer review of the contributions was conducted and completed, in the interest of facilitating the release of the issue we have opted not to publish the full peer review texts alongside the video essays and artists’ statements. As an alternative, this introduction refers to the reviewers’ comments at length, where possible. We thank our peer reviewers for the time and thought they put into their constructive comments for the video essay artists
