Reading American Horror Story
Reading American Horror Story: Essays on the Television Franchise | Rebecca Janicker
3 posts | 1 to read
Looming onto the television landscape in 2011, American Horror Story gave viewers a weekly dose of psychological unease and gruesome violence. Embracing the familiar horror conventions of spooky settings, unnerving manifestations and terrifying monsters, series co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk combine shocking visual effects with an engaging anthology format to provide a contemporary small-screen take on the horror genre. This collection of new essays examines the series' contribution to television horror, focusing on how the show speaks to social concerns, its use of classic horror tropes and its reinvention of the tale of terror for the 21st century.

I used to watch American Horror Story, but I haven‘t kept up for the past few seasons. Starting back up the the Roanoke season (I basically completely skipped Freak Show and Hotel). #scarathlon #teamstoker @TheReadingMermaid

Chab256 Hated Freak Show...loved Hotel...wasn't too keen on Roanoke. I just finished Apocalypse on Netflix...I liked that one! 5y
Kimberlone @Chab256 I did watch quite a bit of freak show when it first aired but it was so weird I just couldn‘t get too into it and quit 5y
IamIamIam Roanoke was the only one I've finished since the first season! Lol, I absolutely loved it! I haven't tried the new season because even without knowing too much, I feel like it's going to try and emulate Stranger Things. 5y

AsYouWish Season 2 Asylum was my favorite until the newest season came on and it just might replace it for me. I think Cult was the only one I did really like. All the rest I could find parts I liked. 5y
Kimberlone @AsYouWish asylum was definitely the best of the full seasons I have seen 5y
