Description

Mastering Fear by Bloomsbury offers a deep analysis of horror as a form of play. This academic text examines why horror is adaptive and beneficial for audiences through a biocultural lens. By focusing on the connection between emotions, gender, and play, the book explores how we engage with fiction horror beyond just fear and disgust. Readers will discover a new theory of horror that includes a wide range of both positive and negative emotions. The text provides a detailed look at female protagonists in contemporary horror, tracing their roles from childhood and adolescence through adulthood, middle age, and old age. This study is essential for understanding the new generation of horror narratives that have emerged since the turn of the millennium.
