Beschreibung

This book investigates the narrativity of some of the most popular survival horror video games and the gender politics implicit in their storyworlds. It will appeal not only to scholars working in game studies, but also to scholars of horror, gender studies, popular culture, visual arts, genre studies, and narratology.
