Description
The Horror Reader brings together 29 key articles to examine the enduring resonance of horror across culture. Spanning literature and film from Britain, the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, and Hong Kong, this collection explores a diversity of horror forms, including classic gothic literature, contemporary serial killers, and low-budget movies. Themes addressed include the fantastic, horror and psychoanalysis, monstrosities, different interpretations of Frankenstein, vampires, queer horror, American gothic, splatter and slasher films, race and ethnicity, lowbrow and low-budget horror, and new regional horror. The Reader opens with an introduction to 'the field of horror' by Ken Gelder, and each thematic section includes an introductory preface. A comprehensive bibliography of horror literature accompanies the collection, providing a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
