About this listen
Horror is where the macabre meets the profound, and The Illustrated Compendium of Horror is your visual guide to its twisted world. Drawing from film, fiction, and folklore, this immersive tour follows horror’s evolution from primal tales of survival to the heart pounding thrillers of today.
We’ve dissected the genre into all its terrifying parts. Inside, you’ll discover:
- The Origins of Horror: The ancient mythology, folklore, and religious traditions that have shaped the genre since the dawn of humanity.
- The Science of Horror: What happens in our brains when we’re scared—and why we can’t get enough of it.
- The Characters of Horror: The stories behind horror’s most iconic characters— the vampires, witches, and werewolves that have bled into our hearts.
- Horror through the Decades: How history, culture, and catastrophe have shaped the genre from the turn of the century to today.
And more!
With seek-and-find puzzles, quizzes, and hidden surprises throughout, The Illustrated Compendium of Horror is a fun and interactive guide to one of world’s most enduring genres.
Enter…if you dare.
