Feeding the Monster

Feeding the Monster explores how horror genres—featuring creatures like zombies, vampires, and cannibals—express and evoke complex emotions such as fear, anxiety, pain, hunger, and power. Despite its popularity in mainstream culture and critical acclaim, horror often raises questions about its audience and creators. Anna Bogutskaya’s work examines the genre's role in responding to and fueling these intense feelings, offering a thoughtful perspective on its cultural significance.
