520    Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, and one of 
       the hardest to reason with and dispel. So why do we scare 
       ourselves? It seems almost mad that we would frighten 
       ourselves for fun, and yet there are thousands of books, 
       films, games, and other forms of entertainment designed to
       do exactly that. Ranging from vampires, ghosts, and 
       werewolves to mad scientists, Satanists, and deranged 
       serial killers, the cathartic release of scaring ourselves
       has made its appearance in everything from Shakespearean 
       tragedies to internet memes. Exploring the key tropes of 
       the genre, including its monsters, its psychological 
       chills, and its love affair with the macabre, this Very 
       Short Introduction discusses why horror stories disturb us,
       and how society responds to literary and film 
       representations of the gruesome and taboo. Analyzing the 
       way in which horror has been used throughout history to 
       articulate the fears and taboos of the current generation,
       Darryl Jones considers the continuing evolution of the 
       genre today. As horror is mass marketed to mainstream 
       society in the form of romantic vampires and blockbuster 
       hits, it also continues to maintain its former shadowy 
       presence on the edges of respectability, as banned films 
       and violent internet phenomena push us to question both 
       our own preconceptions and the terrifying capacity of 
       human nature.
