Badley places horror fiction in its cultural context, drawing important connections to theories of gender and sexuality. As our culture places increasing importance on body image, horror fiction has provided a language for imagining the self in new ways—often as ungendered, transformed, or re-generated. Focusing on the works of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Anne Rice, Badley approaches horror as a discourse that articulates the anxieties of our culture.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eLINDA BADLEY is Professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University.\/e She has published articles on fiction, film, poetry, and gender.
