This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. This volume comprises numerous academic papers concerning essential subjects in relation to fear, horror and terror, from cinematic representations and their subsequent responses, to first person accounts of terror by way of literature and journalism. Key scholars are employed to develop these important research areas as they provide new insights into cultural experiences and evaluations of fear, horror and terror, and their consequent analysis. Contributors also explore cross-cultural fear, the memorialisation of violence, and female experiences of fear represented through literature, theatre, and cinema.

Volumul Litere fără obstacole de Cătălin Ghiță e ca o continuare a cărții sale din 2005, Ipostaze ale actului critic. El reunește texte axate pe teme mai puțin dezbătute în critica românească, pe care le analizează dintr-o perspectivă eminamente comparatistă. Autorul respinge șabloanele și optează pentru o metodologie exegetică suplă, racordata la instrumentele de lucru ale teoriei literare occidentale.
