Horror Stories, so popular in modern literature and film, get there start in modern novels with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to modern Hollywood. In this book, the author develope his thesis that the moral order, when supressed, reasserts itself in the form of an avenging monster. It offers a really interesting perspective that would allow someone to appreciate the good points as well as critique this genre of book/film.
