Abstract

A survey of fiction designed - or marketed - to frighten juvenile readers which moves on to look at changes in the nature of what is frightening. Taking the theme of the 2005 Reith Lectures it looks at children's literature's role in promoting hostility towards technology, and the way writers for the young evoke gothic tropes to make technology fearful.
