Product Information
In this study of fearful fictions and films, Jack Morgan rends the gothic's biological core from its oft-discussed psychological elements and argues for a more trans-historical conception of the gothic, one negatively related to comedy. This work dissects popular examples from the gothic literary and cinematic canon, exposing the inverted comic paradigm within each text. Rooting his study in comedy as theoretically conceived by Suzanne Langer, C.L. Barber and Mikhail Bakhtin, Morgan analyses the physical and mythological nature of horror in inverted comic terms, identifying a biologically grounded mythos of horror. Motifs such as sinister loci, languishment, masquerade, and subversion of sensual perception are contextualized here as embedded in an organic reality, resonating with biological motives and consequences. Morgan also devotes a chapter to the migration of the gothic tradition into American horror. Morgan's subjects range from high gothic classics like Matthew Lewis's ""The Monk"", Ann Radcliffe's ""The Mysteries of Udolpho"" and Mary Shelley's ""Frankenstein"", to later literary works such as Poe's macabre tales, Melville's ""Benito Cereno"", H.P. Lovecraft's ""The Shadow Over Innsmouth"", Shirley Jackson's ""The Haunting of Hillhouse"", Stephen King's ""Salem's Lot"" and Clive Barker's ""The Damnation Game"". Films featured include ""Nosferatu"", ""Invasion of the Body Snatchers"", ""Friday the 13th"", ""Night of the Living Dead"", ""Angel Heart"", ""The Stand"" and ""The Shining"".

" The Biology of Horror does something I've not seen in over twenty-five years of working on and with the Gothic: it builds a biological model of the Gothic, a model that reveals a dark inversion of comic regeneration. Using the work of Suzanne Langer and Mikhail Bakhtin as the theoretical poles of this new model, Morgan uses his reconfigured Gothic paradigm to deconstruct various literary and cinematic emblems of humanity's innate fear of its own organic vulnerability and fleshly brevity." --Mary Pharr, coeditor of The Blood Is the Life: Vampires in Literature, "Jack Morgan'sThe Biology of Horroroffers a tantalizingly organic reinterpretation of the form and function of horror literature, emphasizing its close and too-often neglected relationship to comedy. An eminently readable and insightful book,The Biology of Horroris a must for both scholars and general readers interested in the history and deeper significance of the gothic." -Caitlin Kiernan,author ofThreshold: A Novel of Deep Time, The Biology of Horror does something I've not seen in over twenty-five years of working on and with the Gothic: it builds a biological model of the Gothic, a model that reveals a dark inversion of comic regeneration.
