Description
Folk Horror: Hours Dreadful and Things Strange by Adam Scovell explores the resurgence of interest in the occult and the "wyrd" in modern popular culture. The book delves into the genre's output in film, television, and multimedia, examining the role of psychogeography, hauntology, and topography in shaping the folk horror aesthetic. Scovell's analysis draws on a range of theoretical frameworks to uncover the connections between esoteric arts, cultural heritage, and the supernatural. By tracing the evolution of folk horror from the latter half of the twentieth century to the present day, the book offers a nuanced understanding of this complex and multifaceted genre. Through its examination of the sacred demon of ungovernableness, the book sheds light on the ways in which folk horror reflects and shapes our understanding of the world and our place within it.
