Welcome to Litsy!

A spectacular cross-study of horror, where Jones considers the various objects/phenomena (both the imagined and the very much real) that've inspired human fright over the centuries before finally given life and color via the novel, the movie reel, television and finally the Internet. If you'd like to know more about the grimness of early fairy tales to Italian mondo/exploitation films to ecological horror and even Freud, I highly recommend this.

I do so love these little short deep dives into random and esoteric topics, they are a bit all over the place in terms of writing and depth, but something to be learned with each vilume!

Also the covers are amazing even if they are so simple.
