The Christian faith has had a powerful impact on every sphere of
art in the West, even art which can on the surface seem
antithetical to the faith. Fraser argues this point through a
dazzlingly lucid analysis of the genre of horror film that does not
play along the edges or merely make observations about the inherent
religiosity of certain works. Rather he examines nine classics
which illustrate the deep workings of horror as it has evolved
through its various stages, and in doing so tells a dark tale about
a culture haunted through fear of its own complicity with things
unspoken. Here is a ground breaking, provocative book that defines
the mechanics of the horror genre precisely, including its larger
historic and literary roots, while connecting this dark current to
the major transformations of the twentieth century. A work not only
important for its fresh approach and craft, here is one that leads
the reader through an engaging and sometimes frightening journey of
self-discovery, for it is "fear of demonic presence that drives the
horror genre, along with our related desire to ward it off."
