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"--Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 398.45 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 398.45 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.45 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.45 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.45 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 398.45 Br Lost 07/28/2020 Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.45 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
