It has nurtured a passionate fan base, which has been far more directly integrated into the show than is typical. Wry and self-aware, \u003ci\u003eSupernatural\u003c\/i\u003e repeatedly breaks out of the televisual box to acknowledge its fans and its own fictionality. Though there have already been several studies of \u003ci\u003eSupernatural\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume is the first to focus extensively and intensively on the show's metafictional elements. This essay collection argues that \u003ci\u003eSupernatural\u003c\/i\u003e is not merely a horror show, but is a show about how horror works as a genre, and how fans interact with their favorite material. From exploring how the show has equated authorship with divinity, to considering its incorporation of fandom and closely reading several key episodes, the essays in this volume seek to examine the multiple layers of textuality found in \u003ci\u003eSupernatural\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Macklem\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing about \u003ci\u003eSupernatural\u003c\/i\u003e since the first season.
