Toxic Nostalgia on Screen: Undead Memory in the Twenty-First Century (Lexington Books Horror Studies)

Toxic Nostalgia on Screen: Undead Memory in the Twenty-First Century (Lexington Books Horror Studies)

Toxic nostalgia is not a new phenomenon, and instances of an undying past refusing to perish and plaguing the present, can be found throughout history. However, examined in Toxic Nostalgia on Screen, in the early years of the new millennium, it has acquired further meaning and not just applies to a dangerous longing for the past, but a way of being in the present world. Here in our modern time, undead memory is not just a remembrance of the past that is visited upon the present with negative implications, but the embodiment of monstrous imagined histories and ideologies that dictate the way we live today so that tomorrow is not the future, but a never-ending return to the past.
