This book investigates how different cultures of fear manifest in South African social and mainstream media, arguing that fear and other emotions are a critical lens for understanding contemporary life. It discusses the myth of ‘white genocide’; so-called ‘Satanist’ murders; township urban legends; and white suburban anxieties. -- .
