Feeding the monster : why horror has a hold on us / Anna Bogutskaya.
Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. All monsters need feeding. Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of 'The Babadook', 'Hereditary', 'Get Out', 'The Haunting of Hill House', 'Yellowjackets' and countless other horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: what's wrong with you? Implying, of course, that there is something not quite right about the people who make and consume it. In 'Feeding the Monster', Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger, and power.
