Terrifying Texts

Ancient grimoires such as the Necronomicon serve as timeless vessels of knowledge beyond human comprehension, while runes, summoning diaries, and spell books offer their readers access to the powers of the supernatural - but at what cost? This collection of new essays examines nearly a century of genre horror in which on-screen texts drive and shape their narratives, sometimes unnoticed.

Grimoarele antice, precum Necronomiconul, servesc drept vase de cunostinte atemporale dincolo de intelegerea umana, in timp ce runele, convocarea jurnalelor si cartile de vraji ofera cititorilor lor acces la puterile supranaturale - dar cu ce pret? Aceasta colectie de eseuri noi examineaza aproape un secol de groaza de gen in care textele de pe ecran conduc si modeleaza naratiunile lor, uneori neobservate.
