    This groundbreaking collection examines popular and literary culture in the 1950s through the lens of postwar Ireland. The 1950s are at once a site of cultural nostalgia and of vital relevance to twenty-first-century readers. The diverse essays collected here offer insight into the artistic effects of austerity on both creators and consumers of 1950s culture, examining cultural production in Britain and the United States as well as Ireland. The first book of its kind, it blends critical analysis with cultural memory of a unique time in the history of Irish literature and the broader world. From Samuel Beckett to Elvis Presley and Movement poetry to bestselling science fiction, this volume highlights the crucial role Ireland played in the growth of literary and popular culture throughout this fascinating decade and beyond.

    "From bloody plays in Ancient Greece to Stephen King novels, we have been enjoying the thrill of horror for thousands of years. But why do we find it so pleasurable to give ourselves a fright? This Very Short Introduction delves into the darkest corners of this fascinating genre, exploring films, fiction, and plays to unlock the secrets of why horror stories disturb us, and how society responds to representations of the gruesome and taboo. Analysing the ways horror has been used throughout history to articulate contemporary fears, it considers the continuing evolution of the genre today, from romantic vampires to brutal internet phenomena, and pushes us to question the terrifying capacity of human nature." Fear is one of the most primal emotions, and one of the hardest to reason with and dispel. So why do we scare ourselves? Delving into the darkest corners of horror literature, films, and plays, Darryl Jones explores its monsters and its psychological chills, discussing why horror stories disturb us, and how they reflect society's taboos
