330   $aThe Politics of Horror features contributions from scholars in a variety of fields?political science, English, communication studies, and others?that explore the connections between horror and politics. How might resources drawn from the study of politics inform our readings of, and conversations about, horror? In what ways might horror provide a useful lens through which to consider enduring questions in politics and political thought? And what insights might be drawn from horror as we consider contemporary political issues? In turning to horror, the contributors to this volume offer fresh provocations to inform a broad range of discussions of politics. Damien K. Picariello is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Carolina Sumter, USA.
