Edited by Morag Styles and written by an international team of
acknowledged experts, this series provides jargon-fee, critical
discussion and a comprehensive guide to literary and popular texts
for children. Each book introduces the reader to a major genre if
children's literature, covering the key authors, major works and
contexts in which those texts are published, read and studied. The
development of the horror genre in children's literature has been a
startling phenomenon - one that has provoked strong, but mixed,
reactions. Frightening Fiction provides a lucid and lively guide to
that genre, ranging from analyses of such popular series as Point
Horror, Goosebumps, the X Files and the buffy stories, to the work
of individual authors such as Robert Westall, David Almond, Philip
Gross and Lesley Howarth. Kimberly Reynolds is Professor of
Children's Literature at the University of Surrey Roehampton and
Director of the National Centre for Research in Children's
Literature where Kevin McCarron is Senior Lecturer in American
Literature. Geraldine Brennan is Books Editor for the Times
Educational Supplement.
