Fear and Nature expansively defines eco-horror as not only a sub-genre of literature but as a cohesive mode operating across genres and media. Whether talking about Algernon Blackwood or Algernon Swinburne, Bong Joon Ho or Junji Ito, this volume explores the rhizomatic connections that make eco-criticism something that transcends genre, and makes a convincing case for its relevance not only today but as a way of reconsidering what has come before. -Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World Fear and Nature straddles popular culture studies, horror and gothic studies, film and literary studies, and cultural studies. It is an expansive, ambitious, and exploratory book that is working to move the field beyond earlier works of ecohorror criticism by considering fresh approaches to the subject. -Bernice Murphy, author of The Rural Gothic in American Popular Culture: Backwoods Horror and Terror in the Wilderness This foundational text is an optimistic thrust of possible reimagination, one that does not foreclose the future or discourage activism. -ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature & Environment This representative and symbolic book is highly recommended to readers as it can offer them the ethics and responsibilities towards nature. -Tohidur Rahaman, Journal of Ecohumanism
