Summary
"Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? ... In [this book], Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? What about them keeps us up at night, even days later? And why do we keep coming back for more?"--Publisher marketing
