Within the text there are a multitude of convergent critical perspectives used to engage and explore fictional and real monsters of the forest in media and folklore. The collection features chapters from a variety of academic perspectives: film and media studies, cultural studies, queer theory, Tolkien studies, mythology and popular music are featured. Under examination are a wide range of narratives and media forms that represent, reimagine and create the werewolves, witches and weird apparitions that inhabit the forest, along with the forest as a monstrous entity in itself. Whether they be our shelter and safe-haven or the domain of malevolent spirits and sprites, forests have the capacity to horrify and threaten those that venture into them without permission. Human interference has continually threatened forests across the world, yet this threat is revered in myth, folklore and more recent cultural forms. This collection ranges widely to analyze how forests figure in contemporary culture, as well as the wider contexts in which such representations are inserted. 606 $aSupernatural in motion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01138968 606 $aSupernatural in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01138966 606 $aSupernatural$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01138960 606 $aForests in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01896053 606 $aForests in art$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01896052 606 $aForests and forestry$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00932632 606 $aSupernatural$xFolklore 606 $aForests and forestry$xFolklore 606 $aSupernatural in motion pictures 606 $aSupernatural in literature 606 $aForests in literature 606 $aForests in art 608 $aFolklore. 615 7$aSupernatural in motion pictures. 615 7$aSupernatural in literature. 615 7$aSupernatural. 615 7$aForests in literature. 615 7$aForests in art. 615 7$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aSupernatural$xFolklore. 615 0$aForests and forestry$xFolklore. 615 0$aSupernatural in motion pictures. 615 0$aSupernatural in literature. 615 0$aForests in literature. 615 0$aForests in art. 676 $a704.9434 676 $a809.93375 700 $aHackett$b Jon$01729976 701 $aHarrington$b Sea?n$01716865 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838343503321 996 $aBeasts of the Forest$94140211 997 $aUNINA
