AUTHOR
SUMMARY
This book does nothing less than redefine the very genre of horror fiction, calling into question the usual conventions, motifs, and elements. Unlike many critics of this genre, Linda Holland-Toll 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.Linda J. Holland-Toll is the author of 'As American as Mom, Baseball, and Apple Pie: Constructing Community in Contemporary American Horror Fiction', published 2001 under ISBN 9780879728519 and ISBN 0879728515.
