Microbiology and Horror Cinema delves into the chilling world of pathogens—funguses, bacteria, parasites, and viruses—and their influence on the narrative and visual conventions of both classic and contemporary horror films. By examining movies like The Exorcist, Annabelle, The Wicker Man, The Skeleton Key, and Crawl, this monograph offers a fresh perspective on how these microscopic threats shape our understanding of fear and embodiment.   The chapters investigate such critical themes as the representation of disease, the impact of infection on human and non-human bodies, and the cultural significance of these narratives in the context of global health crises. Readers will encounter thought-provoking analyses that challenge traditional interpretations of horror, inviting them to consider the invisible yet pervasive anxieties that these films evoke. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolving discourse on horror cinema and infectious disease, as it provides a unique epidemiological lens through which to view these unsettling stories.   Scholars, students, and enthusiasts of film studies, cultural studies, medical humanities, and microbiology will find Microbiology and Horror Cinema an invaluable resource. It offers a compelling exploration of how horror films reflect and amplify our deepest fears about disease and contagion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52483023733009,"sku":"NLS9783031943973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52761046810897,"sku":"NIN9783031943973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031943973.jpg?v=1759854091"},{"product_id":"anatomy-of-the-superhero-film-book-larrie-dudenhoeffer-9783319579214","title":"Anatomy of the Superhero Film","description":"This book addresses what a superhero body can do by developing several x-rays of the superbodys sensoria, anatomic structures, internal systems, cellular organizations, and orthotic, chemical, or technological enhancements.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52536345952529,"sku":"NLS9783319579214","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037352976657,"sku":"NIN9783319579214","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783319579214.jpg?v=1760673870"},{"product_id":"embodiment-and-horror-cinema-book-larrie-dudenhoeffer-9781349487530","title":"Embodiment and Horror Cinema","description":"Using the four tissue types (connective, epithelial, nervous, and muscular), Dudenhoeffer expands and complicates the subgenre of body horror.
