Excellent- More about Blue Light of the Screen: On Horror, Ghosts, and God
Blue Light of the Screen is a creative-critical memoir that explores the author's obsession with the horror genre, blending personal experiences with critical analysis to explore themes of fear, immersion, superstition, and delusion.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 232 pages
Publication date: 13 October 2020
Publisher: Watkins Media
Blue Light of the Screen delves into the profound implications of fear, encompassing the realms of immersion, superstition, delusion, and the unsettling elements that haunt our dreams. This captivating creative-critical memoir by the author serves as a profound exploration of their lifelong obsession with the horror genre, seamlessly interweaving critical analysis with personal anecdotes. Through the lens of their upbringing in a devoutly Catholic family, the overcoming of suicidal depression, the unraveling of intergenerational trauma, and their encounters with both real and imagined ghosts, the author weaves a deeply personal narrative. As Cronin candidly reveals, she assumes the role of a protagonist haunted by the content she consumes, akin to an antiquarian protagonist in an M.R. James ghost story whose sense of reality is gradually eroded through their study of arcane texts and cursed archives. In this unique approach, Blue Light of the Screen unfolds as a captivating tale of the author's journey from skepticism to faith in the supernatural, transcending the confines of a mere book about horror. Rather, it emerges as a chilling work of horror itself, a testament to the author's profound insights and unsettling experiences.
