Publisher's Summary
Many creatures lurk in the dark, weaving on top of one another, roiling together like waves on
the night sea. The darkness forms in layers to encompass the land, fill the corners, and obscure
angles. Untold mysteries lie just beyond reach told in many tongues, many inflections, many
rhythms.
The stories are many.
Innumerable.
Legion.
The Horror Aesthetic: Essays from the Dark Corners of the Genre shares perspectives from the
darkest corners of the horror genre, providing study and nuance to the mythos, antagonists, and
storytelling we love. This is a book that celebrates the craft of writing horror, explores the oral
traditions that gave life to the written words of the gothic and the tortured, shines a light on what
has been left in the obscurity of the dark. From the classroom to the far corners that only
shadows reach, The Horror Aesthetic: Essays from the Dark Corners of the Genre examines the
horror genre in rich context, contemplative zest, and dark humor.
It's the horror research you never knew you needed until now.
