Baltic Horror in film, gaming and literature

Description

The Baltic region arguably saw the birth of horror cinema when Germany produced its cycle of silent horror films. However, it is a geographical region that remains overlooked in horror scholarship. This collection aims to fill the gap with a series of essays discussing audiovisual media and literature in Estonia, Russia and Denmark, among others; and developing theoretical frameworks including postcolonialism, gender studies, issues of originality, folklore, history and geographical boundaries.
