      abstract = {This book explores the idiosyncratic effects generated as  fairytale and gothic horror join, clash or merge in cinema.  Identifying long-held traditions that have inspired this  topical phenomenon, the book features close analysis of  classical through to contemporary films. It begins by  tracing fairytale and gothic origins and evolutions,  examining the diverse ways these have been embraced and  developed by cinema horror. It moves on to investigate  films close up, locating fairytale horror, motifs and  themes and a distinctively cinematic gothic horror. At the  book’s core are recurring concerns including: the  boundaries of the human; rational and irrational forces;  fears and dreams; ‘the uncanny’ and transitions between the  wilds and civilization. While chronology shapes the book,  it is thematically driven, with an interest in the cultural  and political functions of fairytale and gothic horror, and  the levels of transgression or social conformity at the  heart of the films.},
