Throughout history, cats have been deified and hunted, reviled and revered, and we've used scary stories to cope with these dichotomies. Our relationship to cats has been defined by our fear or adoration of them, historically marking those who care for them as being in league with something sinister. Now that cats are omnipresent in our lives and social media feeds, the mystique around them has slipped away—but our fervent admiration has not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScaredy Cats\u003c\/em\u003e examines our evolving relationship with cats, as well as their well-established place in the dark corners of our imagination, through in-depth analyses of some of their most notable appearances across horror film, literature, and visual art, including \u003cem\u003ePet Sematary\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAlien\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCat People\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJu-On: The Grudge\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eCoraline\u003c\/em\u003e. From villain to protector, felines are employed in a wide-ranging set of roles that showcase their ephemeral nature and reflect our collective anxieties. Through this lens, \u003cem\u003eScaredy Cats\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates how our cat companions of all shapes and sizes have haunted our imaginations and stories since we first met them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexandra West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49351828603131,"sku":"9781834050560","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_3ba74941-88a3-4f3a-9676-044d9914a37e.jpg?v=1790103146","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/scaredy-cats-9781834050560","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
