Haunted On Ghosts Witches Vampires Zombies and Other Monsters of the Natural and Supernatural Worlds

My special guest is Leo Braudy who's here to discuss is book called Haunted On Ghosts Witches Vampires Zombies and Other Monsters of the Natural and Supernatural Worlds.   VISIT OUR HOME ON THE WEB   An award-winning scholar and author charts four hundred years of monsters and how they reflect the culture that created them   Leo Braudy, a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, has won accolades for revealing the complex and constantly shifting history behind seemingly unchanging ideas of fame, war, and masculinity.   Continuing his interest in the history of emotion, this book explores how fear has been shaped into images of monsters and monstrosity. From the Protestant Reformation to contemporary horror films and fiction, he explores four major types: the monster from nature (King Kong), the created monster (Frankenstein), the monster from within (Mr. Hyde), and the monster from the past (Dracula). Drawing upon deep historical and literary research, Braudy discusses the lasting presence of fearful imaginings in an age of scientific progress, viewing the detective genre as a rational riposte to the irrational world of the monstrous. Haunted is a compelling and incisive work by a writer at the height of his powers.   ATTENTION: 2023 - SEASON: 8 We have a new feed for 2023 so to ensure you get new releases please make sure you follow or subscribe on your favorite podcast app.     Show Us Some Love!
