Through readings of works of film, literature, and philosophy, Eugenie Brinkema shifts understandings of the horror genre away from bodily gore and the spectator's shudder and toward how the genre's sequencing, order, diagrams, and treatment of bodies forces readers to confront ethical questions of the limits of thinking and being.
