Description:This book explores the moral and representational issues associated with engaging young people with popular media depictions of death and dying.Emotionally charged depictions of death play an important role in contemporary media directed toward teen and young adult audiences. Across creative works as diverse as interactive digital games, graphic novels, short form serial narratives, television and films, young people gain opportunities to engage with representations of death.
