Matt Glasby definitely knows his horror. A film journalist for Total Film, GQ, SFX and many more, through his thirty-four essays and more than a hundred suggestions for further viewing, he categorizes seven techniques, or scare tactics, that horror films rely on to work their dark magic. Glasby examines the finer details of featured films with fun infographics and a beautiful set of illustrations by London artist Barney Bodoano. All artworks are in black and white with clever use of chiaroscuro.
