The Pleasures of Horror is a stimulating and insightful exploration of horror fictions and the emotions they are said to engender in audiences. It offers an overview of competing explanations of the genre's appeal, arguing that no single approach can adequately explain horror's popularity. Instead, it illustrates how rival theories all tend to caricature audience responses to horror, and suggests a series of new directions for the study of horror.
