An indispensable resource for students and researchers of
paranormal myth and media, this horror anthology explores both
popular and obscure pieces about the undead and unholy. Beginning
with the author's personal reflections on frightful manifestations
in media, essays interrogate the roots and representations of
well-known supernatural entities. Divided into three sections,
chapters contextualize ghosts, vampires and monsters firmly within
American culture. The section dedicated to ghosts features the
author's 2004 essay "Spectral Turn" and explores spectrality in the
work of Herman Melville and Toni Morrison. In the "Vampires"
section, the author considers the undead bloodsucker's relationship
to antisemitism, suicide and cinema. Lastly, the third section
includes pieces that explore the otherizations of monsters in films
like It Follows, 2017's IT and It Comes at Night. Considerations of
monstrosity in the age of global pandemics, terrorism and "stranger
danger " are also addressed at length.
