Reviews

"With its complex but fresh theories and inviting style, this work will enhance both film and gothic studies collections." Choice "Anna Powell's book is both visceral and intellectual. It deftly combines attentive accounts of specific films with broader theoretical speculation. Powell gets to the heart of what's compelling and addictive about horror films: their rhythms and intensities, the feelings they arouse, the ways they get under the skin of the viewer." Professor Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University
