The Horror Reader by Ken Gelder
From classic gothic literature like Frankenstein, to contemporary serial killers, horror film fanzines and low-budget movies such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this book collects twenty-nine key articles to examine the enduring resonance of horror across culture.'Gelder is to be congratulated on this selectionIf you teach horror then I recommend this, the academic weight here, carefully used, could help students see beyond the gore.' - In The Picture
'Will do much to introduce the uninitiated to the cultural fascination of horror while giving the aficionados plenty to keep them ticking over.' - Intensities
