The Politics of Horror features contributions from scholars in a variety of fields-political science, English, communication studies, and others-that explore the connections between horror and politics. How might resources drawn from the study of politics inform our readings of, and conversations about, horror?

Damien K. Picariello is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Carolina Sumter, USA. He is also the author of Politics in Gotham: The Batman Universe and Political Thought (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019).
