Horror i troska. Narracje antropocenu dla dzieci na przykładzie Miasta Złotej Daniela Chmielewskiego i Magdy Rucińskiej
Horror and Concern: Anthropocene Narratives for Children on the Example of Miasto Złotej by Daniel Chmielewski and Magda Rucińska

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an interpretation of the book by Daniel Chmielewski and Magda Rucińska, Miasto Złotej [Inner City] (2018), classified by the authors as an urban horror story. The author of the paper attempts to expand this category with elements of the eco-horror genre. The study is supplemented by the concept of Anthropocene, as well as an approach that integrates ecological humanities and ecocriticism. It is aimed to determine to what extent the postulates related to those notions are implemented in the analysed book. The author of the article proves that not only does their presence modify generic conventions of horror, but most of all it transforms the book into a small treaty on community education.
