How does the evolution of horror imagery across different media platforms redefine the viewer's relationship with the monstrous? Adam Charles Hart, a scholar of film and media, investigates the shifting aesthetics of horror from early cinema to contemporary digital platforms. He argues that the 'monstrous' is not a static entity but a fluid construct that adapts to the technological and cultural constraints of its medium, utilizing historical analysis and media theory to map these transformations.

Scholars and film critics recognize this work as a rigorous contribution to the field of media studies, often citing its detailed analysis of visual transitions. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for those with a background in film theory or cultural criticism.
