Fear of Aging is written by João Paulo Guimarães and published by transcript Verlag. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3839461952 (ISBN 10) and 9783839461952 (ISBN 13).

In the genre of horror, elderly people are often used as a trope to evoke both a fear of death and a fear of aging. Old age is therefore equated with bodily, mental, or social decline. The contributors of this book investigate what exactly we are afraid of when we posit old age as a source of horror. The aim is to harness the thrills and pleasures of horror to think about how quality of life can be improved in old age and how elderly people can be better integrated in our ever fearful and suspicious societies.
