Morgan´s study begins with an extensive treatment of comedy as theoretically conceived by Suzanne Langer, C.L.Barber, and Mikhail Bakhtin. Morgan, then analyses the physical and mythological nature of horror in inverted comic terms, identifying a biologically grounded mythos of horror. Motifs such as sinister loci, languishment, masquerade, and subversion of sensual perception are contextualized here as embebedded in an organic reality, resonating with biological motives and consequences. Morgan also devotes a chapter to the migration of the gotic tradition into American horror, emphasizing the body as horror´s essential place in American gothic.
