Eco-Horror: Is Nature Trying to Kill Us?
Thursday June 12, 2025 4:00pm - 4:45pm EDT
Aspen 2
This panel will discuss some of the early examples of eco-horror in literature, like Algernon Blackwood’s The Willows, and trace those influences on today’s eco-horror classics. We will also seek to define the sub-genre more clearly through our discussion: Is eco-horror merely a horror story set in the woods? Is it when nature turns against humanity? Or is it when the story carries a message about humanity's impact on the ecosystem?
