Since ancient times, explorers and adventurers have captured
popular imagination with their frightening narratives of travels
gone wrong. Usually, these stories heavily feature the exotic or
unknown, and can transform any journey into a nightmare. Stories of
such horrific happenings have a long and rich history that
stretches from folktales to contemporary media narratives. This
work presents eighteen essays that explore the ways in which these
texts reflect and shape our fear and fascination surrounding
travel, posing new questions about the "geographies of evil" and
how our notions of "terrible places" and their inhabitants change
over time. The volume's five thematic sections offer new insights
into how power, privilege, uncanny landscapes, misbegotten quests,
hellish commutes and deadly vacations can turn our travels into
terror.
