racing the development of horror entertainment
!
since the late 18th century, this study argues that
L
scientific discovery, technological progress, and
knowledge in general have played a significant role in
influencing the evolution of horror.
Throughout its many
subgenres
(biological horror,
cosmic horror and others) and formats (film, literature,
comics), horror records humanity s uneasy relationship
with its own ability to reason, understand, and learn.
The text defines distinct periods in horror development,
then explores each by looking at the scientific and
cultural background of the period, its expression in
horror literature, and its expression in horror visual and
performing arts.
