Whether intentionally or unintentionally, previously published works have neglected ancient Graeco-Roman texts that either cause horror or may be said to belong to the horror genre. This book serves as a good introduction to horror in ancient Graeco-Roman literature. It reviews the concepts of horror (literary, psychological, and biophysical), examines the current definitions for horror fiction, evaluates the current interest in the darker side of the classical world, and suggests new ways of thinking about horror as a genre.
