{"product_id":"fear-of-aging-old-age-in-horror-fiction-and-film-9783837661958","title":"Fear of Aging: Old Age in Horror Fiction and Film","description":"In the genre of horror, elderly people are often used as a trope to evoke both a fear of death and a fear of aging. Old age is therefore equated with bodily, mental, or social decline. The contributors of this book investigate what exactly we are afraid of when we posit old age as a source of horror. The aim is to harness the thrills and pleasures of horror to think about how quality of life can be improved in old age and how elderly people can be better integrated in our ever fearful and suspicious societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo?o Paulo Guimar?es\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Contemporary Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.8lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837661958","brand":"Transcript Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43784580989065,"sku":"9783837661958","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_690832a9-bbf1-45df-8c6e-f497ecc0a588.jpg?v=1742274720","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/fear-of-aging-old-age-in-horror-fiction-and-film-9783837661958","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
