As for film and literature, the horror
genre has been very popular in the video game. The World of Scary Video Games provides a comprehensive overview of the videoludic
horror, dealing with the games labelled as “survival horror” as well as the
mainstream and independent works associated with the genre. It examines the
ways in which video games have elicited horror, terror and fear since Haunted House (1981). Bernard Perron combines an
historical account with a theoretical approach in order to offer a broad history
of the genre, outline its formal singularities and explore its principal
issues. It studies the most important games and game series, from Haunted House (1981) to Alone
in the Dark (1992- ), Resident Evil (1996-present), Silent Hill (1999-present), Fatal Frame (2001-present), Dead Space (2008-2013), Amnesia: the Dark Descent (2010), and The Evil Within (2014). Accessibly written, The World of Scary Video Games helps the reader to trace the history of an important genre
of the video game.
