Horror is a universally popular, pervasive TV genre, with shows like True Blood, Being Human, The Walking Dead & 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 & pushing the boundaries of acceptability.       
The authors demonstrate how TV Horror continues to provoke & terrify audiences by bringing the monstrous & the supernatural into the home, whether through adaptations of Stephen King & classic horror novels, or by reworking the gothic & surrealism in Twin Peaks & 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 & Stephen Moffat, together with case studies of such shows as Dark Shadows, Dexter, Pushing Daisies,Torchwood, & Supernatural, they explore its evolution on television.  This book is a must-have for those studying TV Genre as well as for anyone with a taste for the gruesome & the macabre.
