The Routledge Companion to Folk Horror offers a comprehensive guide
to this popular genre. It explores its origins, canonical texts and
thinkers, the crucial underlying themes of nostalgia and
hauntology, as well as identifying new trends in the field. Divided
into five parts, the first focuses on the history of Folk Horror
from medieval texts to the present day. It considers the first wave
of contemporary Folk Horror through the films of the ‘unholy
trinity’, as well as discussing the influence of ancient Gods and
early Folk Horror. Section two looks at the spaces, landscapes and
cultural relics, which form a central focus for Folk Horror. In
section three, the contributors examine the rich history of the use
of folklore in children’s fiction. The next section discusses
recent examples of Folk Horror-infused music and image. Chapters
consider the relationship between different genres of music to Folk
Horror (such as Folk Music, black metal, and new wave); sound and
performance; comic books; and the dark web. Often regarded as
British in origin, the final section analyses texts which break
this link as the contributors reveal the larger realms of
regionality, nationality, international and transnational Folk
Horror. Featuring forty contributions, this authoritative
collection brings together leading voices in the field. It is an
invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in this
vibrant genre and its enduring influence on literature, film, music
and culture.
