Willful Monstrosity: Exploring Gender and Race in 21st Century Horror This monograph examines the intersectional perspective of horror in the 21st century, focusing on gender and race. It delves into over 70 narratives, analyzing four primary monstrous figures - zombies, vampires, witches, and monstrous women - that subvert cultural norms and systems of power. The discussion reads horror in relation to contemporary issues such as sexual violence, capitalist greed, brutality against people of color, militarism, and the patriarchy. Ground-breaking films and television shows like Get Out, Us, The Babadook, A Quiet Place, Stranger Things, Penny Dreadful, and The Passage are examined alongside works by key authors. This thorough account of the horror landscape offers insights into what it says about the 21st century world.
