Considering horror fiction both as a genre and as a social phenomenon, Joseph Grixti provides a theoretical and historical framework for reconsidering horror and the cultural apparatus that surrounds it. First published in 1989, the book looks at shifts in the genre's meaning - its fascination with excess, its commentaries on the categories and boundaries of culture - and at interpretations of horror from psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, cultural and media studies.
