Reviews for Youth Horror Television and the Question of Fear

Youth Horror Television and the Question of Fear elevates the unmediated yet communal experience of watching TV to a source of both joyful reminiscence and satisfying critical intervention. It recognizes how 'televised youth horror' spawns horror-loving adults, exposing them to the haunting powers of narrative from a young age. This is a neglected area of contemporary horror's origin story. --Laura R. Kremmel, Niagara University Reader, beware! The kids who grew up sitting too close to the television or peeking through their fingers to watch Goosebumps and Watership Down have grown up, and they are here to mine their childhood nightmares to frighteningly satisfying ends. Youth Horror Television and the Question of Fear unites the most exciting new and established voices in the field to give long overdue attention to this fascinating area of study. --Catherine Lester, University of Birmingham
