Halloween is quickly approaching, making horror a highly topical genre. You can find a lot of research on horror from different fields of study in the library's collections.
The library’s recommendations view horror especially from the perspectives of gender, sexuality, class and race. All of the works selected here are available as e-books, which means you can access them also off-campus with your University of Helsinki user account.
At the end you'll also find a few classics of horror fiction as new editions.
