معرفی
Mark Storey is a Professor in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Warwick. His research and teaching focus on American Literature and Cultural Studies, with a particular emphasis on genre theory and its intersections with political sociology.
Research Interests: His work explores the role of genre—including regionalism, historical novels, science fiction, westerns, and gothic/horror—in shaping sociopolitical categories like modernization, imperialism, and temporality. He currently leads a project on genre fiction and fear in US political life since the 1960s, which has expanded into affect studies and the interdisciplinary Fear Network at Warwick. His scholarship bridges horror studies, 19th-century American literature, and eco-critical approaches to American horror.
Publications Trends: Storey’s recent work spans horror studies (e.g., American Horror Film), 19th-century US imperialism (e.g., Roma Redux), and temporal analysis. He co-edited the Cambridge Companion to American Horror and continues to analyze genre’s cultural and political functions.

Labs and Teams: Storey founded The Fear Network, a cross-disciplinary initiative at Warwick examining affect, politics, and narrative culture.
