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 modern 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.

Over ten seasons since 2011, the television series American Horror Story (AHS), created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, has continued to push the boundaries of the televisual form in new and exciting ways. Emerging in a context which has seen a boom in popularity for horror series on television, AHS has distinguished itself from its ‘rivals’ such as The Walking Dead, Bates Motel or Penny Dreadful through its diverse strategies and storylines which have seen it explore archetypal narratives of horror culture as well as engaging with real historical events. Utilising a repertory company model for its casting, the show has challenged issues around contemporary politics, heteronormativity, violence on the screen, and disability to name but a few. This new collection of essays approaches the AHS anthology series through a variety of critical perspectives within the broader field of television studies and its transections with other disciplines.

Read the untold Jeffrey Dahmer story that Netflix DOESN'T want you to read, An American Horror Story, as lived by the author of the infamous "Jeffrey Dahmer: An Unauthorized Biography of a Serial Killer" comic books, Hart D. Fisher. This is a true crime tale unlike any you have ever read before detailing the behind the scenes of the talk show mills like The Sally Jesse Raphael Show, what it's really like to be a crime victim hounded by the mass media, rape, murder, all true crime as lived by "The Most Dangerous Man in Comics" (as dubbed by Hero Illustrated Magazine). Here is the riveting introduction to An American Horror Story by Daun Richert-Slagle (The Sole Survivor of Serial Killer Keith Hunter Jesperson; aka: the Happy Face Killer (1990), and the mother of a murdered Child. (1991)): "In 2009, as I was coming forward to tell my story for the first time, I was also asked to become a monthly contributor for the true crime website, "In Cold Blog." It was there that I first discovered the writings of Hart D. Fisher. Never before had I seen such raw and rare documentation of the pain that I myself was forced to endure as I stumbled through some of the darkest days of my life. For years, I became stuck in a dysfunctional grieving process, blundering in between a state of anger and denial; nearly drowning in my depression and emptiness. Off and on, I searched for solace in the bottom of a bottle, until the pain had become nothing less than a ravenous thief, stealing the fire from within me. I was an empty shell... merely existing. It hurt to breathe. Everything hurt. I knew immediately through his expression of pain, which I believe to be an absolute artistry of words, that Hart D. Fisher had once traveled through the same vortex as I had so many years ago. Not everyone can understand this tormented state of purgatory. But those who have been there... know the deepest form of suffering. It is a place that my mind could have never fathomed prior to experiencing such immense pain and loss. I believe the amount of tragedy and/or trauma that we experience in our lives, coupled by the way we have chosen to interact with it, may enable some of us to tread into the darkness and capture the very essence of all that is evil. But of those people, only a select few will ever make it back, bearing upon them the imprint of that experience, while remaining both engaged and intact. Hart is as real as it gets. He has a rare talent that allows him the ability to open the very gates of Hell and walk you through them like no one I've ever known. His writings reach down into the depths of my soul and speak volumes of a place I had never found the words to describe. The intense visceral emotion that you will experience as you take this journey with him, will ultimately challenge everything you thought you knew about pain, grief, and the limitation of self will."

In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, an American teen recounts the strange events that occur after she moves into a new—and very haunted—home with her family in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced. Letters, photographs, and a journal…all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. Following her parents’ high-profile divorce, Paige and her brother are forced to move to Idaho with their mother, and Paige doesn’t have very high hopes for her new life. The small town they’ve moved to is nothing compared to the life she left behind in LA. And the situation is made even worse by the drafty old mansion they’ve rented that’s filled with spiders and plenty of other pests that Paige can’t even bear to imagine. Pretty soon, strange things start to happen around the house—one can of ravioli becomes a dozen, unreadable words start appearing on the walls, and Paige’s little brother begins roaming the house late at night. And there’s something not right about the downstairs neighbor who seems to know a lot more than he’s letting on. Things only get creepier when she learns about the cult that conducted experimental rituals in the house almost one hundred years earlier. The more Paige investigates, the clearer it all becomes: there’s something in the house, and whatever it is…and it won’t be backing down without a fight.

Telling an American Horror Story collects essays from new and established critics looking at the many ways the horror anthology series intersects with and comments on contemporary American social, political and popular culture. Divided into three sections, the chapters apply a cultural criticism framework to examine how the first eight seasons of AHS engage with American history, our contemporary ideologies and social policies. Part I explores the historical context and the uniquely-American folklore that AHS evokes, from the Southern Gothic themes of Coven to connections between Apocalypseand anxieties of modern American youth. Part II contains interpretations of place and setting that mark the various seasons of the anthology. Finally, Part III examines how the series confronts notions of individual and social identity, like the portrayals of destructive leadership in Cult and lesbian representation in Asylum and Hotel.
