Book Description
The gothic, particularly in its contemporary incarnations, is often constructed around largely disembodied concepts such as spectrality or the haunted. Body Gothic offers a counter-narrative that reinstates the importance of viscerality to the gothic mode. It argues that contemporary discourses surrounding our bodies are crucial to our understanding of the social messages in fictional mutilation and of the pleasures we may derive from it. This book considers a number of literary and cinematic movements that have, over the past three decades, purposely turned the body into a meaningful gothic topos. Each chapter in Body Gothic is dedicated to a different corporeal subgenre: splatterpunk, body horror, the new avant-pulp, the slaughterhouse novel, torture porn and surgical horror are all covered in its pages. Close readings of key texts by Clive Barker, Richard Laymon, Joseph D'Lacey, Matthew Stokoe, Tony White or Stanley Manly are provided alongside in-depth analyses of landmark films such as Re-Animator (1985), The Fly (1986), Saw (2004), Hostel (2005), The Human Centipede (2011) and American Mary (2012).

Book Description

Edited by Jack Bantry and including an introduction by Jeff Burk, head editor at Deadite Press. Praise for Splatterpunk Zine: "Splatterpunk is 100% the real deal, and if seedy-but-brilliantly-written hardcore horror is your pleasure, guilty or otherwise, I'd say this zine is essential reading." - Kit Power, Ginger Nuts of Horror "These are great days for horror fiction and Splatterpunk is a great return to bloody roots." - John Boden, Shock Totem "It's a zine in the 80s sense of the word... It makes me nostalgic" - Wrath James White "This is an old school handmade hardcore horror fiction zine... I liked it a lot." - Mark Sieber, Horror Drive-In "Bantry is providing a great time for fans of horror fiction. If you haven't jumped on this viscera-covered bandwagon, what are you waiting for?" - Sean Leonard, HorrorNews.net "Splatterpunk Zine has thrown down the gauntlet to any and all challengers, and assumed its place at the head of the pack. This is exactly how underground horror fiction should be, unfettered, uncompromising and deliciously nasty. Horror has a new voice." - Mass Movement "Sometimes you stumble across something and you want to tell the world about it. It happens I've found something I'd like to share, something joyous, yet unsettling, amateur, yet smart. I'm talking about Splatterpunk Zine." - Snakebite Horror

Book Description
This two-volume set offers comprehensive coverage of horror literature that spans its deep history, dominant themes, significant works, and major authors, such as Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and Anne Rice, as well as lesser-known horror writers. Many of today's horror story fans—who appreciate horror through movies, television, video games, graphic novels, and other forms—probably don't realize that horror literature is not only one of the most popular types of literature but one of the oldest. People have always been mesmerized by stories that speak to their deepest fears. Horror Literature through History shows 21st-century horror fans the literary sources of their favorite entertainment and the rich intrinsic value of horror literature in its own right. Through profiles of major authors, critical analyses of important works, and overview essays focused on horror during particular periods as well as on related issues such as religion, apocalypticism, social criticism, and gender, readers will discover the fascinating early roots and evolution of horror writings as well as the reciprocal influence of horror literature and horror cinema. This unique two-volume reference set provides wide coverage that is current and compelling to modern readers—who are of course also eager consumers of entertainment. In the first section, overview essays on horror during different historical periods situate works of horror literature within the social, cultural, historical, and intellectual currents of their respective eras, creating a seamless narrative of the genre's evolution from ancient times to the present. The second section demonstrates how otherwise unrelated works of horror have influenced each other, how horror subgenres have evolved, and how a broad range of topics within horror—such as ghosts, vampires, religion, and gender roles—have been handled across time. The set also provides alphabetically arranged reference entries on authors, works, and specialized topics that enable readers to zero in on information and concepts presented in the other sections.
