Examining the young adult horror series and the religious horror series for children (Left Behind: The Kids) for the first time, and tracing the unstoppable monster to Seuss's Cat in the Hat, this book sheds new light on the problematic message produced by the combination of marketing and books for contemporary American young readers. 650 0 $a Children's stories $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror in literature. 650 0 $a Young adult literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror tales $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fear in literature. 650 0 $a Terror in literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Religious fiction $x History and criticism. 776 08 $i Online version: $w (OCoLC)1038016124 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005013111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=913D26F8961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
