The Horror Reader (Hardcover)

Blood-sucking vampires, serial killers, ghosts and ghouls, monsters and freaks--horror provides us with a way of imagining and classifying our world. Through 29 essays, "The Horror Reader" explores the questions of what is evil and what is good; what is monstrous and what is "normal"; what can be seen and what should remain hidden. Covering classic gothic literature and spanning the history of horror in literature and film, it brings together essential writings on this most spectacular and controversial of genres. The range of topics is vast-from Edgar Allan Poe to "Frankenstein" to" The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,"
