Horror: A Thematic History in Fiction and FilmBloomsbury Academic, 31 Eki 2002 - 220 sayfa What is the audience for horror? Why should we want to read books or watch films that make us afraid, or that contain acts of violence or depravity? Horror has had an established tradition in both fiction and film. From books such as Frankenstein and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to films such as Se7en and The Blair Witch Project, the genre holds an irresistible appeal for modern audiences. But what is it?

Or is it pure evil, designed to corrupt and deprave? |
