The Routledge Companion to Global Horror is a mapping of an emergent Global Horror Studies that are developing across media forms of literature, film, TV, radio, podcasting, video gaming and other forms of culture. In 53 chapters and 25 'snapshot' mini-essays, the Companion has commissioned leading scholars from Sweden to New Zealand, from China, North and South America, the UK and Europe, to cover what is now a global network of horror. The book offers specialist sections on literature, film, TV and transmedia horror as well as sections with chapters on established and emergent theoretical frames and the cultural and intersectional politics of horror. Uniquely, it builds both a history of the rise of 'horror' in distinct forms and a new mapping of a constantly evolving global genre, now produced across a network of transnational sources, each with their own distinct version of horror. . This volume will allow readers to think in an inherently transnational, comparative mode of critical apprehension of the genre, decentering narrow national formulations of horror for a wider, interdisciplinary conception of horror.
