إطعام الوحوش .. لماذا يسيطر الرعب علينا

[Feeding the Monsters](https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Anna-Bogutskaya-Feeding-the-Monster-9780571385775) A captivating look at what draws us to shock and horror thrills, by film critic and broadcaster Bogutskaya. _Zombies Want Brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh._ All _monsters need food._ Mainstream popular culture has embraced horror films more than ever, with horror characters and their aesthetics invading television, music videos, and even social media platforms. However, even with the commercial and critical success of The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Haunted Hillhouse, Yellowjackets, and many other horror films and series over the past few years, love of the genre still raises the question: What's wrong with you? Which suggests, of course, that there's something wrong with the people who make and consume this kind of film. In her book Feeding the Beast, Anna Bogutskaya definitively refutes this idea by examining how horror films respond to, and feed, our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger, and power.
