Supernatural is one of the most successful horror TV shows ever,
providing fifteen seasons of the adventures of Dean and Sam
Winchester as they hunt monsters and save the world. It has
nurtured a passionate fan base, which has been far more directly
integrated into the show than is typical. Wry and self-aware,
Supernatural repeatedly breaks out of the televisual box to
acknowledge its fans and its own fictionality. Though there have
already been several studies of Supernatural, this volume is the
first to focus extensively and intensively on the show's
metafictional elements. This essay collection argues that
Supernatural is not merely a horror show, but is a show about how
horror works as a genre, and how fans interact with their favorite
material. From exploring how the show has equated authorship with
divinity, to considering its incorporation of fandom and closely
reading several key episodes, the essays in this volume seek to
examine the multiple layers of textuality found in Supernatural.
