{"product_id":"knowing-fear-jason-colavito-9780786432738","title":"Knowing Fear: Science, Knowledge and the Development of the Horror Genre","description":"\u003cp\u003e Tracing the development of horror entertainment since the late 18th century, this study argues that scientific discovery, technological progress, and knowledge in general have played an unparalleled role in influencing the evolution of horror. Throughout its many subgenres (biological horror, cosmic horror and others) and formats (film, literature, comics), horror records humanity's uneasy relationship with its own ability to reason, understand, and learn. The text first outlines a loose framework defining several distinct periods in horror development, then explores each period sequentially by looking at the scientific and cultural background of the period, its expression in horror literature, and its expression in horror visual and performing arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Colavito\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078643273X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786432738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.06w x 1.02d","brand":"Jason Colavito","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082564641023,"sku":"9780786432738","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowing-fear-jason-colavito-9780786432738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
