Description

Explore the origins of horror and the evolution of the supernatural with Monstrous Beings and Media Cultures. This academic collection examines how sinister creatures emerge from folk horror, Gothic fiction, and various media traditions. By looking at how folk monsters develop across different art forms, the book provides a deep look into how the concept of folk is being used as a cultural and aesthetic mode in the 21st century. The essays within this volume look at how both local traditions and professional creative processes combine to shape the attributes of monstrous beings. You will learn about the popularity of these creatures and the specific contexts in which audiences receive them. This book is an essential resource for those studying the connection between folklore, media, and the horror genre.
