Description

The Horror genre has become one of the most popular genres of TV drama with the global success and fandom surrounding The Walking Dead, Supernatural and Stranger Things. Horror has always had a truly international reach, and nowhere is this more apparent than on television as explored in this provocative new collection looking at series from across the globe, and considering how Horror manifests in different cultural and broadcast/streaming contexts. Bringing together established scholars and new voices in the field, Global TV Horror examines historical and contemporary TV Horror from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Iran, Japan, Spain, New Zealand, USA and the UK. It expands the discussion of TV Horror by offering fresh perspectives, examining new shows, and excavating new cultural histories, to render what has become so familiar – Horror on television – unfamiliar yet again.

Preface
Horror Studies is the first book series exclusively dedicated to the study of the genre in its various manifestations – from fiction to cinema and television, magazines to comics, and extending to other forms of narrative texts such as video games and music. Horror Studies aims to raise the profile of Horror and to further its academic institutionalisation by providing a publishing home for cutting-edge research. As an exciting new venture within the established Cultural Studies and Literary Criticism programme, Horror Studies will expand the field in innovative and student-friendly ways.

E DITED COLLECTIONS such as this book are a rewarding collaboration between the editors and their authors, and so our first thank you goes to our contributors, whose professionalism and passion for TV horror underpin the value of this book. They have been a pleasure to work with and a constant reminder that fans of horror are the nicest people. We would like to express our gratitude to Xavier Aldana Reyes for his enthusiasm for the project and its inclusion in the Horror Studies series (UWP). Thank you to Sarah Lewis at the University of Wales Press for her hard work and support, and to everyone at UWP for their help in making this book happen. Thank you to the anonymous peer reviewer for their insightful feedback.
Stacey would like to thank her family in Canada for their encouragement and indulgence of her horror and Gothic passions. Thank you to her husband and partner-in-crime Simon Brown for his never-ending support and shared loved of horror. Most importantly she would like to thank her co-editor Lorna Jowett for being an outstanding collaborator and for making the hard work of writing and editing so much fun. This conversation started about their shared enthusiasm for Near Dark and vampires at a conference many, many years ago, and it continues through every project they undertake. Long may the conversation continue – ‘Let’s go to work.’
Lorna would like to think all the friends, family and colleagues who have supported her, especially in the last few, rather trying, years. A massive shout out is also due to Stacey Abbott, fantastic co-conspirator and all-round Champion. Long may the conversation continue – ‘I wish to do more violence.’
