Reading in the Dark by Jessica R. McCort (Editor)
Call Number: PN1009.A1 R413 2016
ISBN: 1496806441
Publication Date: 2016
Edited by Point Park's very own Jessica McCourt, an assistant professor of composition and rhetoric! Reading in the Dark fills a gap in criticism devoted to children's popular culture by concentrating on horror, an often-neglected genre. These scholars explore the intersection between horror, popular culture, and children's cultural productions, including picture books, fairy tales, young adult literature, television, and monster movies.
