Horror films have exploded in popularity since September 11, 2001. Why did horror become so popular in the wake of events so horrific that many pundits initially predicted the death of the genre? And what do our horror films say about us?

Co-editors and contributors to the new anthology Horror after 9/11 (University of Texas Press) will take part in a panel discussion and conversation with the audience about horror films, the War on Terror, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, immigration, and LGBT liberation, and more.

Aviva Briefel is Associate Professor of English at Bowdoin College. She is the author of The Deceivers: Art Forgery and Identity in the Nineteenth Century.

Sam J. Miller is a writer, community organizer, and independent scholar. His work has been published in journals such as The Minnesota Review, Fiction International, Washington Square, Gargoyle, and The Rumpus.
