About the book

A History of Horror, Fear, and the Uncanny by DK is a non-fiction book for adult readers.

A spine-chilling look at the subject of horror through history and across the world Take a step - if you dare - into the shadows and the story of our primal fascination with fear, terror, and the macabre. This comprehensive and creepily illustrated guide explores the dark and eerie landscapes of horror down the centuries and across the world - from prehistoric death rituals and early monster myths to modern manifestations of the subject in art, literature, and film.

Discover how horror has evolved through the ages, beginning with the ancient visions of a hellish underworld. Encounter terrifying figures like Medusa and the Babylonian demon Pazuzu. Tread carefully through the medieval world, where a fear of the unknown stoked apocalyptic terror around the Black Death and gave rise to the demonology of the Malleus Maleficarum.
