Reviews
The breadth and depth of the book as it is recommend it to scholars in the field looking to delve deeper into internet culture and to engage with what Hart terms the "sensational address" of horror, and to college instructors to assign as an accessible introduction to the horror genre in media studies. * Geneveive Newman, Supernatural Studies *
In clear, accessible prose, and cutting across a broad swath of media to find their common appeals, Hart provides an answer-at once summative and new-to the discipline's most asked question: Why horror? * Robert Spadoni, Case Western Reserve University *
