This class will look at the depictions of race within the horror genre. We will read and discuss a combination of older and newer works to better understand how the depictions of race have changed throughout the years. Some of the questions we will consider include how marginalized groups are/were depicted in horror? How do authors from those marginalized groups use the genre to respond to their marginalization? What issues do authors from marginalized groups address in their work? Throughout the semester we will look at works from various authors including Zora Neale Hurston, H.P. Lovecraft, Victor LaValle, Stephen Graham Jones, and more.
