Horror Fiction: An Introduction by Gina Wisker

3.0

Me and this book have had a love/hate relationship. Although I do enjoy the author's view of the horror genre, I'm not sure it was a good idea for her to take on the entire of burden of Horror Fiction. Judging by Wisker's writing her focus is obviously in cultural and gender criticism and should probably stick to that. Although this book is labeled "An Introduction," I feel that a lot is left out or overlooked and her repetition is beyond annoying. Overall I liked the chapter on criticism the most and found many usable quotes, so not all is lost.
