Horror fiction stormed the bestseller lists with classics like
Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, setting the stage for Stephen
King's worldwide popularity, but the genre has literary roots going
back centuries. This collection provides insight into the way
classic horror texts were received, interpreted and discussed by
the first generations to experience them, ideas that continue to
define the way modern society views horror. Each reprinted article,
review or critical essay is prefaced with an introduction and
explanatory notes to frame the work in its historical context. The
book also includes an overview of horror criticism, publication
timeline, and period photographs and illustrations.
