Primeval Fear: The Elements Of Classic Horror

In "Primeval Fear," horror novelist Christopher Treagus explores the roots behind the classic elements and archetypes of horror literature. Discover why the Vampire yet plagues us after all these years. Why the Monster is such a potent enemy, and from where the Werewolf legend stems, among others. Understand why ghosts and Occultism permeates our society, and, most important, learn why Horror is such a necessary genre in today's world. "Where do you get your ideas?" and "Why do you write horror?" These are the two most common questions asked of horror writers, often times spoken with trepidation and a hint of revulsion. "Primeval Fear" has grown out of the realization that most people do not know what horror literature is really about. This book attempts to explain many of the genre's most enduring icons and archetypes. The subjects discussed in this book are vast in nature. Which is why I am making available this New Edition of "Primeval Fear: The Elements of Classic Horror."
