Book Synopsis
Investigates how horror films have rendered the human body as a media artifact, dramatically dis-figuring it with optical effects and visual fragmentation.

Trade Review
"Visceral Screens argues eloquently for horror's centrality to essential debates in contemporary film and media studies theory. By framing horror beyond conventional notions of cautionary or anxious relations to media technologies, Allan Cameron presents a fascinating new account of horror as an 'intermediate' genre: between meanings encompassing bodies, images, and image-bodies." -Adam Lowenstein, University of Pittsburgh
