Baltic Horror in film, gaming and literature, Gebunden

Klappentext

Argues that horror cinema originates from the overlooked Baltic region.

Arguably, the Baltic region saw the birth of horror cinema when Germany produced its cycle of silent horror films. However, this geographical region remains overlooked in horror scholarship. This collection aims to fill this gap with a series of essays discussing audiovisual media and literature in Estonia, Russia, and Denmark, among other regions. Theoretical frameworks include postcolonialism, gender studies, issues of originality, folklore, history, and geographical boundaries, among others.
