Description
Horror is an entire world in which one can reside. After all, we all fear something. The book by leading critic and horror fan Antonín Tesař takes readers into various cinematic and literary corners of this genre and shows how extraordinarily diverse and broad it can be. You will experience the cosmic dread of H. P. Lovecraft, learn why Stephen King is one of the highest-paid writers today, and journey from films like Rosemary's Baby through the cult films of David Cronenberg to queer horror. The excursion will take you to folkloric monsters from Nigeria, Latin America, or the Eastern Bloc. Antonín Tesař dispels prejudices, brings new perspectives on horror, and shows that this genre is not just here to frighten. It is published with a postscript by Ivan Adamovič.
