{"product_id":"tv-horror-lorna-jowett-9781848856189","title":"TV Horror: Investigating the Darker Side of the Small Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003eHorror is a universally popular, pervasive TV genre, with shows like True Blood, Being Human, The Walking Dead and American Horror Story making a bloody splash across our television screens. This complete, utterly accessible, sometimes scary new book is the definitive work on TV horror. It shows how this most adaptable of genres has continued to be a part of the broadcast landscape, unsettling audiences and pushing the boundaries of acceptability. The authors demonstrate how TV Horror continues to provoke and terrify audiences by bringing the monstrous and the supernatural into the home, whether through adaptations of Stephen King and classic horror novels, or by reworking the gothic and surrealism in Twin Peaks and Carnivale. They uncover horror in mainstream television from procedural dramas to children's television and, through close analysis of landmark TV auteurs including Rod Serling, Nigel Kneale, Dan Curtis and Stephen Moffat, together with case studies of such shows as Dark Shadows, Dexter, Pushing Daisies, Torchwood, and Supernatural, they explore its evolution on television.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a must-have for those studying TV Genre as well as for anyone with a taste for the gruesome and the macabre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorna Jowett, Stacey Abbott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848856180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848856189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
