Noel Carroll, film scholar and philosopher, offers the first
serious look at the aesthetics of horror. In this book he discusses
the nature and narrative structures of the genre, dealing with
horror as a "transmedia" phenomenon. A fan and serious student of
the horror genre, Carroll brings to bear his comprehensive
knowledge of obscure and forgotten works, as well as of the horror
masterpieces. Working from a philosophical perspective, he tries to
account for how people can find pleasure in having their wits
scared out of them. What, after all, are those "paradoxes of the
heart" that make us want to be horrified?
