In recent years horror and gothic themes have penetrated mainstream popular culture in a manner unseen since the horror boom of the 1970s. Primetime television viewers who before might not have shown interest in such late-night fare now happily settle down after dinner to watch zombie or serial killer shows. This collection of 54 biographical essays examines many overlooked and underrated figures who have played a role in the ever expanding world of horror and gothic entertainment. The contributors push the boundaries of how we define these terms; bringing into the discussion such diverse figures as singer-songwriter Tom Waits; occultist Dion Fortune; author Charles Beaumont; historian and bishop Gregory of Tours and video game designer Shinji Mikami.
