“Over the course of thirteen brilliantly argued chapters, Mathias Clasen uses the sharp edge of
evolutionary psychology to skin the horror genre alive and reveal the wet red tendons twitching
under the surface. Why Horror Seduces is sure to provoke admiration, argument, debate, and
delight among fans and creators. An essential read for anyone who cares about terrifying fiction.”
-“-JOE HILL, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Fireman; A Novel
“Who would have thought that horror could be so delightful? Mathias Clasen sheds light on the
paradox of terrifying entertainment, illuminating human nature, and the nature of art.
—STEVEN PINKER. Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of
How the Mind Works and The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined
“Mathias Clasen s wonderfully exploratory and explanatory should be read and
enjoyed by anyone with an interest in this most misunderstood of genres.”
—PETER STRAUB, author of Interior Darkness-, Selected Stories and Ghost Story
rom vampire apocalypses, shark attacks, witches, and ghosts, to murderous dolls bent on revenge,
horror has been part of the American cinematic imagination for almost as long as pictures have
moved on screens. But why do they captivate us so? What is the drive to be frightened, and why
is it so perennially popular? Why Horror Seduces addresses these questions through evolutionary
social sciences.
Explaining the functional seduction of horror entertainment, this book draws on cutting-
edge findings in the evolutionary social sciences, showing how the horror genre is a product
of human nature. Integrating the study of horror with the sciences of human nature, the book
claims that horror entertainment works by targeting humans’ adaptive tendency to find pleasure
in make-believe, allowing a high intensity experience within a safe context. Through analyses
of well-known and popular modern American works of horror, author Mathias Clasen illustrates
how these works target evolved cognitive and emotional mechanisms. Organized into three parts
identifying fictional works by evolutionary mode—the evolution of horror; evolutionary interpreta-
tions of horror; and the future of horror— Why Horror Seduces succinctly explores the cognitive
processes behind spectators’ need to scream.
