AWP panel: The 21st Century Horror Novel

  • Rooms 328-329, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 3 705 East Pike Street Seattle, WA, 98122 United States (map)

With Stephanie Feldman, Erika T. Wurth, and Addie Tsai.

The novel has thrived as a vehicle for scary stories since the time of Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley, and after three centuries, horror is returning to the mainstream. What elements of the genre have persisted, and how has horror evolved? How are contemporary writers reimagining horror? What essential work do horror tropes perform in this particular historical moment? Four novelists discuss the aesthetics and politics of fear.
