Summary: -- Russell Meeuf has a strong journalistic writing style that is well-suited to a trade audience. His research focuses on popular media and culture, semiotics and visual communication, critical and cultural studies of mass media, representations of crime and the criminal justice system in U.S. media, and the history of cinema. His work has resulted in four published books and articles in Cinema Journal, The Journal of Communication Inquiry, The Journal of Popular Film and Television, and Third Text, among other journals. -- The book fills a stark gap in existing horror literature while tackling a topic featured prominently in popular media by centering issues of racial resentment, white fragility, and white guilt in our examination of horror cinema. -- This is an exemplary crossover publication in film and media studies and builds our offerings in subjects including horror, popular culture, politics and the media, and issues of race, gender, and class. -- The trade audience for this book includes fans of the horror genre, popular culture enthusiasts, and people interested in intersections of politics and media and representations of race, gender, and class in the media. It could be used in related undergraduate courses in film and cultural studies.
