American Nightmares: The Haunted House Formula in American Popular Fiction by Dale Bailey

3.0

A good start to critiquing the American Haunted House formula. I could do without the random side comments from the author, but overall it does a fairly good job of... quoting Stephen King's Danse Macabre. I would love to read an updated version of this book that included more contemporary stories, as well as expanded to stories from outside the United States.
