Divided into sections that explore the origins and evolution of horror fiction, the recurrent themes that can be seen in horror, and ways of understanding horror through literary and cultural theory, the text analyses why horror is so compelling, and how we should interpret its presence in literature. Chapters explore historical horror aspects including ancient mythology, medieval writing, drama, chapbooks, the Gothic novel, and literary Modernism and trace themes such as vampires, children and animals in horror, deep dark forests, labyrinths, disability, and imperialism. Considering horror via postmodern theory, evolutionary psychology, postcolonial theory, and New Materialism, this handbook investigates issues of gender and sexuality, race, censorship and morality, environmental studies, and literary versus popular fiction. 001359251 650_0 $$aHorror tales$$xHistory and criticism. 001359251 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359251 7001_ $$aCorstorphine, Kevin,$$eeditor. 001359251 7001_ $$aKremmel, Laura R.,$$eeditor. 001359251 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z331997405X$$z9783319974057$$w(OCoLC)1042402513 001359251 852__ $$bebk 001359251 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-97406-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359251 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359251$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359251 980__ $$aBIB 001359251 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359251 982__ $$aEbook 001359251 983__ $$aOnline 001359251 994__ $$a92$$bISE
