About this book
Reviews
—Casey Ryan Kelly, Director of Graduate Studies and Associate Professor, University of Nebraska, USA, and author of Apocalypse Man: The Death Drive and the Rhetoric of White Masculine Victimhood (2020)
“Picariello has compiled a fascinating collection of works, providing new insight as to the symbiotic relationship between horror media and the political landscape in the online age. As a die-hard student of frightening fiction, it comes as a welcome reminder of how the media we consume shapes the world we live in—making a compelling case for horror as the most relevant genre in modern entertainment.”
—Tyler MacIntyre, Director of Tragedy Girls
