Characters and plot developments, similarly, are enhanced by their musical accompaniment. The different scoring strategies employed in supernatural and horror-based genres, comprising for example True Blood and Supernatural, are considered alongside cult shows set in our reality, such as Dexter, The Sopranos and 24. These discussions are complimented by in-depth case studies of musical approaches in two high-profile series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hannibal. Written from a musicological standpoint but fully accessible to non-musicologists, the book significantly advances television and music studies.
Janet K. Halfyard is Associate Professor at Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham City University, where she teaches film music, twentieth-century music and contemporary music. She is author of Danny Elfman's Batman: A Film Score Guide (2004), and co-editor of Music, Sound and Silence in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
