The first section, \"The Politics of Horror,\" traces the influence of the gothic and horror tradition on Peele's film, from Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e, through the female gothic and Ira Levin's \u003ci\u003eRosemary's Baby\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Stepford Wives\u003c\/i\u003e, to the modern horror film, including the zombie, rural, suburban, and body-swap subgenres of horror. The second section, \"The Horror of Politics,\" takes up \u003ci\u003eGet Out\u003c\/i\u003e's varied political interventions--notably its portrayal of the continuation of slavery and the deformation of the black body and mind in white, so-called progressive America. Contributors address Peele's film alongside African American figures such as Nat Turner, W. E. B. Du Bois, and James Baldwin. Taken together, the essays illuminate how \u003ci\u003eGet Out\u003c\/i\u003e stands as both a groundbreaking intervention in the horror tradition as well as a devastating unmasking of racism in the contemporary United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDawn Keetley is Professor of English at Lehigh University.
