Developed from ideas presented at a May 2006 conference in Dublin, these 14 essays analyze fear as a motivating factor behind historical events that are not as distant as we assume. Contributors address the sociology of fear, fear in the 1798 Irish uprising, geopolitics in the "yellow peril," the American approach to World War I, fear as a tool of counter-insurgency, the politics and ethics of representing 9/11, the American neo-nazi movement, the July 2005 bombings in London, the construction of fear in and after childhood, particulars of fear in Danielewski's House of Leaves, the rise of horror in an Irish castle and the decline of the US horror movie. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
