"Rethinking Horror in the New Economies of Television brilliantly skewers horror's changing televisual roles, analysing the genre's recent explosion in popularity. Exploring how a horror cycle has become ubiquitous and valuable across the US TV industry of the twenty-first century, Stella Marie Gaynor smartly complicates our understandings of both television and horror. This razor-sharp study will appeal to a wide range of fans and academics-in short, immediate reader attention is advised." -Professor Matt Hills, author of Fan Cultures and The Pleasures of Horror. This book explores the cycle of horror on US television in the decade following the launch of The Walking Dead, considering the horror genre from an industrial perspective. Examining TV horror through rich industrial and textual analysis, this book reveals the strategies and ambitions of cable and network channels, as well as Netflix and Shudder, with regards to horror serialization. Selected case studies; including American Horror Story, The Haunting of Hill House, Creepshow, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Hannibal; explore horror drama and the utilization of genre, cult and classic horror texts, as well as the exploitation of fan practice, in the changing economic landscape of contemporary US television. In the first detailed exploration of graphic horror special effects as a marker of technical excellence, and how these skills are used for the promotion of TV horror drama, Gaynor makes the case that horror has become a cornerstone of US television. Dr Stella Marie Gaynor is Associate Lecturer at the University of Salford, UK, where she teaches horror media, television, radio, and media studies. Recent publications explore her favorite horror content, covering zombies, vampires, serial killers, true crime, and grim history. She is a founding member of BAFTSS Horror Studies SIG. .

This book provides a comprehensive reading of a space/place-based experience from the birth of the American horror genre (nineteenth century American Romanticism) to its rise and evolution in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Exploring a series of narratives, this study focuses on the role of space and place as key elements for successful articulation of horror. The analysis, therefore, employs different theoretical premises and concepts belonging to human geography, which, while being part of the larger discipline of geography, predominantly directs its attention towards the presence and activities of humans. By connecting such theoretical readings with the continuously evolving American horror genre, this book offers a unique insight into the academically unexplored trans-disciplinary spatially based reading of the genre. Marko Lukić is Associate Professor atthe English Department at the University of Zadar, Croatia, where he teaches courses onAmerican literature, gothic and horror genre, popular culture, and cultural theory. His research interests include American popular culture, human geography and spatiality in literature and film, and the contemporary horror genre. He is the Editor in Chief of [sic] - A Journal of Literature, Culture and Literary Translation, Conference Director of the international conference Re-Thinking Humanities and Social Sciences, and the co-founder of the Centre for Research in Social Sciences and Humanities.

We leven in een wereld van tegenstellingen: religie tegenover secularisme, milieu tegenover economie, gelijkheid tegenover verschillen, democratie tegenover expertise en efficiëntie, massa tegenover individu, wereldburgerschap tegenover lokale identiteit, nihilisme tegenover basisvertrouwen. Deze tegenstellingen zijn valse tegenstellingen, een keurslijf dat het Westen al eeuwen gevangen houdt. Vanuit dat grote gelijk nemen we enorme risico's en veroorzaken rampen. Er worden oorlogen gevoerd om grondstoffen en voorrechten, er worden terreuraanslagen gepleegd vanuit religieuze en ideologische tunnelvisies en we zien de ander uit wantrouwen vaak niet als mens, maar als vijand of concurrent. We zijn bang voor elkaar. Niet voor niets worden de eerste tien jaren van deze eeuw het decennium van de angst genoemd. Die mentaliteit weerhoudt ons ervan uit te breken en de creativiteit, die zo typisch menselijk is, te gebruiken om problemen op te lossen in plaats van ze in stand te houden of te verscherpen. Het plezier van het zoeken is een positief boek. Het richt zich tot de talloze actieve burgers die willen samenwerken om de aarde en de mensheid leefbaar en kwaliteitsvol te houden.
