As American As Mom, Baseball and Apple Pie: The Construction of Community in Contemporary American Horror Fiction
Linda J. Holland-Toll
Redefines the genre of horror fiction, calling into question the usual conventions, motifs, and elements. Unlike many critics of this genre, the author sees dis/affirmative horror fiction acting neither to soothe fears nor reduce them to the vicarious ""thrills 'n' chills"" mode, but as intensifying the fears inherent in everyday life.
