Summary
"Through analyses of various mediums, this volume explores how the horror genre affects the mind and body of the spectator. By examining how these diverse media generate medium-specific corporeal and sensory responses, it reveals how the sensorium interweaves sensory and intellectual encounters to produce powerful systems of perception"-- Provided by publisher.
