Description

Terrors of Uncertainty examines horror fiction as both a distinct genre and a broader cultural phenomenon, tracing its evolution from classic works like Frankenstein and Dracula through modern films such as Psycho and The Chainsaw Massacre. Originally published in 1989, this Routledge Revivals edition offers a theoretical and historical framework for understanding how horror narratives have shaped cultural discourse. Joseph Grixti explores the genre's obsession with excess, its interrogation of cultural boundaries and categories, and its connections to psychological and psychoanalytic interpretation. The book considers horror not merely as entertainment but as a lens through which societies examine their deepest anxieties and uncertainties. By analysing both canonical and contemporary examples, this work reveals how horror fiction functions as a mirror to cultural fears, taboos, and transformations across different historical periods.

Key Features

Terrors of Uncertainty provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding horror fiction's role in cultural discourse and social meaning-making.

The book traces horror's evolution from 18th-century classics like Frankenstein through to late-20th-century cinema, covering major shifts in genre conventions.

Grixti examines psychological and psychoanalytic perspectives on horror, revealing how the genre engages with fundamental human anxieties and unconscious fears.

This Routledge Revivals edition makes a significant 1989 study accessible to contemporary readers interested in film studies, literary criticism, and cultural analysis.
