Book Presentation:
Audiovisual content has transformed significantly with technological advancements and the rise of new media. In addition to revitalizing older works by making them accessible to a broader audience, streaming platforms also create exclusive original content designed specifically for online consumption. This is especially evident in horror films and television; new methods of narration and storytelling have enhanced the genre, and streaming has made it more widely available than before.
This collection of essays examines audiovisual horror’s adaptation to the features and audience of the digital era. The essays focus on the various effects of new media in the audiovisual landscape with regard to institutions, audiences, and content. The horror genre has undergone a rapid evolution and re-invention as technology has shaped both the narratives and the ways in which consumers interact with on-screen content.
