This book investigates the narrativity of some of the most popular survival horror video games and the gender politics implicit in their storyworlds. In a thorough analysis of the genre that draws upon detailed comparisons with the mainstream action genre, Andrei Nae places his analysis firmly within a political and social context. In comparing survival horror games to the dominant game design norms of the action genre, the author differentiates between classical and postclassical survival horror games to show how the former reject the norms of the action genre and deliver a critique of the conservative gender politics of action games, while the latter are more heterogeneous in terms of their game design and, implicitly, gender politics. This book will appeal not only to scholars working in game studies, but also to scholars of horror, gender studies, popular culture, visual arts, genre studies and narratology.

"Kenneth Dangler, a very rich young WASP -- educated at Andover and Harvard, married to the equally rich, capricious Erica - -has settled on a business scheme with a certain "pith and moment" to it: Dangler's International Adventures Camp, in northern New Hampshire. Guests, all lilywhites of the rulingest class, pay $2000 a week to wrestle a tame bear, ride whitewater rapids (the bottom of the canoe is tracked to an underwater channel, so the danger is only illusory), and confront a carefully modified wilderness. But Andrew Cobb, an old schoolmate of Dangler's who is hired as the camp lawyer, watches while Dangler's aims embolden and his mission takes on serious intent: Dangler is now determined to toughen the rich so that they can re-take control of society. So he begins to make his wilderness encounters truly dangerous -- no more playacting. A Winter Expedition up the steep local mountain is the climax, with a very hokey, melodramatic turn -- a doublecross by the resort manager (who's dazzled by Dangler's wife Erica) -- that puts everyone in real life-and-death danger. Gaines (Stay Hungry) doesn't quite decide what he wants this book to be -- a Gatsby-ish meditation on the rich? a Thomas McGuane-like satire, aAla The Sporting Club? -- until rather late in the game. But by that time his strongest suit -- action writing -- has taken over and the winter climb on the icy slopes is legitimately gripping. With obvious indebtedness to films like Westworld: a sometimes overly ambitious and snide but generally taut novel, full of rich, if derivative, cinematic potential."--Kirkus
