Topics range from the feminine sublime in American novels to the monstrous double in horror fiction, (in)security at music festivals, the uncanny in graphic novels, epic heroes' Being-towards-death and authenticity, atrocity and history in Central European art, the theme of old age in absurdist literature, and iterations of the \"home invasion\" subgenre in post-9\/11 popular culture.  This diversity of insights and methodologies ensures a kaleidoscopic look at a cluster of phenomena and experiences that often manage to both be immediately and universally recognizable and defy straightforward categorization or even description.  Contributors are Emily-Rose Carr, Ghada Saad Hassan, Woodrow Hood, María Ibáñez-Rodríguez, Nicole M. Jowsey, Marta Moore, Pedro Querido and Ana Romão.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors    1 Introduction   María Ibáñez-Rodríguez and Pedro Querido  2 Both Victimizer and Victim: Terror and the Feminine Sublime in American Psycho and Fight Club   Emily-Rose Carr  3 Fearful Manifestations: a Comparative Study of the Monstrous Double in Ahmed Khaled Towfik’s Utopia   Ghada Saad Hassan  4 Music Festival (in)Security: Transgression, Transhumanism, and Immorality   Woodrow Hood  5 Myths of the Uncanny in the Contemporary Graphic Novel   María Ibáñez-Rodríguez  6 Fear, Death and Authenticity in the Hero: a Look at Heidegger, Achilleus, and Harry Potter   Nicole M.
