How can we be genuinely frightened of vampires, even though we know they don't exist? How can people find pleasure in having the very wits scared out of them? Carroll presents the first philosophical and aesthetic analysis of horror. This book should be of interest to advanced students in philosophy, media and cultural studies and literary criticism.
