Publisher's Synopsis
Fear, the primary trait of the horror genre, is a far broader concept than it is often credited as. One can hardly define the shock of a jump scare as the same experience as the dread of knowing bad news is coming, yet both are categorized under the same emotion. This expansive nature of fear extends to the horror genre as well. Just as fear does, horror encompasses a massive range of human experiences. The ways that horror evokes these experiences is therefore an evolving practice. The moments when that practice has taken sudden leaps forward into the genre's future are crystallized for us to look back on to this day. This anthology collects just a few of those key moments for you to read and experience alongside the history of horror.
