Fantastical, but also horrifying at times, this collection of eleven essays delves deep into the topics of Horror in the long-running and acclaimed series, Doctor Who.
Since the beginning of its first season, the long-running British series, Doctor Who, has had audiences “hiding behind the sofa.” While the widely acclaimed series stands as an icon of science fiction media, the show has also, since its beginning, engaged audiences in horror tropes, imagery, and narrative. Fear Makes Companions of Us All is the first book to take up a critical evaluation of horror in Doctor Who. This edited collection of eleven essays examines Doctor Who from multiple critical perspectives including youth horror, gothic horror, folk horror, and eco-horror. This book will be of interest to all Doctor Who fans and scholars of science fiction and horror studies. Its engaging and readable prose also mean this book will be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of devoted Doctor Who fans, enthusiasts of hauntology, and anyone who has ever “hid behind the sofa” watching the intrepid Doctor.
