Telling an American Horror Story collects essays from new and
established critics looking at the many ways the horror anthology
series intersects with and comments on contemporary American
social, political and popular culture. Divided into three sections,
the chapters apply a cultural criticism framework to examine how
the first eight seasons of AHS engage with American history, our
contemporary ideologies and social policies. Part I explores the
historical context and the uniquely-American folklore that AHS
evokes, from the Southern Gothic themes of Coven to connections
between Apocalypseand anxieties of modern American youth. Part II
contains interpretations of place and setting that mark the various
seasons of the anthology. Finally, Part III examines how the series
confronts notions of individual and social identity, like the
portrayals of destructive leadership in Cult and lesbian
representation in Asylum and Hotel.
