Writing Horror and the Body

Viac o knihe

Exploring horror fiction as a transformative genre, the book delves into how it reflects and reshapes images of the body and identity within cultural contexts. By examining the works of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Anne Rice, it highlights the connections between horror, gender, and sexuality. As societal focus on body image intensifies, horror fiction emerges as a medium for reimagining the self, often portraying characters as ungendered or transformed, thereby articulating contemporary cultural anxieties.
