"This collection of new essays examines nearly a century of genre horror in which on-screen texts drive and shape their narratives, sometimes unnoticed. The contributors explore familiar American films like The Night of the Demon (1957) and The Evil Dead (1981), as well as such international films as Eric Valette's Malefique (2002) and Paco Cabeza's The Appeared (2007)"--
