Download or read book Queer Horror Film and Television written by Darren Elliott-Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the representation of alternative sexuality in the horror film and television has "outed" itself from the shadows from which it once lurked, via the embrace of an outrageously queer horror aesthetic where homosexuality is often unequivocally referenced. In this book, Darren Elliott-Smith departs from the analysis of the monster as a symbol of heterosexual anxiety and fear, and moves to focus instead on queer fears and anxieties within gay male subcultures. Furthermore, he examines the works of significant queer horror film, television producers, and directors to reveal gay men's anxieties about: acceptance and assimilation into Western culture, the perpetuation of self-loathing and gay shame, and further anxieties associations shameful femininity. This book focuses mainly on representations of masculinity, and gay male spectatorship in queer horror films and television post-2000. In titling this sub-genre "queer horror," Elliott-Smith designates horror that is crafted by male directors/producers who self-identify as gay, bi, queer, or transgendered and whose work features homoerotic, or explicitly homosexual, narratives with "out" gay characters. In terms of case studies, this book considers a variety of genres and forms from: video art horror; independently distributed exploitation films (A Far Cry from Home, Rowe Kelly, 2012); queer Gothic soap operas (Dante's Cove, 2005-7); satirical horror comedies (such as The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror (Thompson, 2008); low-budget slashers (Hellbent, Etheredge-Outzs, 2007); and contemporary representations of gay zombies in film and television from the pornographic LA Zombie (Bruce LaBruce, 2010)) to the melodramatic In the Flesh (BBC Three 2013-15). Moving from the margins to the mainstream, via the application of psychoanalytic theory, critical and cultural interpretation, interviews with key directors and close readings of classic, cult and modern horror, this book will be invaluable to students and researchers of gender and sexuality in horror film and television.

Book excerpt: Teenager Elsie Kerr is hospitalized with a high fever after being found raped and beaten. When eminent bacteriologist Sir Marcus Levin is asked to consult on the case, Elsie accuses him of the crime, pointing at him and screaming "Devil Daddy " Then things really start to get weird: Elsie ages eighty years in a matter of hours, and Sir Marcus finds himself racing to stop whatever killed her from spreading while at the same time trying to clear his name. But the trail will take some unexpected and sinister turns: a grisly corpse half-eaten by pigs, a coven of madmen with a diabolical plot, a grotesque and sacrilegious ritual, and an enigmatic old man who may be unable to die John Blackburn (1923-1993) was a master at reworking ancient and medieval legends into chilling tales of modern-day horror, and in Devil Daddy (1972), one of his most bizarre novels, he is at his most inventive.

Download or read book Austen and Bront s Complete Novels of Jane Austen Charlotte Bront Emily Bront Anne Bront written by Charlotte Brontë and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 4463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austen and Brontës: Complete Novels of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë & Anne Brontë is a monumental anthology that unites the full literary oeuvres of four of the most important and influential authors in English literature. This collection traverses the diverse landscapes of 19th-century British life, weaving together themes of love, independence, social status, and the clash between personal desires and societal expectations. The anthology is unique in its amalgamation of Austen's keen wit and social commentary with the passionate intensity and psychological depth of the Brontë sisters, offering readers a rich variety of styles and perspectives. Long celebrated standouts include 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Jane Eyre', among others, representing the pinnacle of the era's literary achievements. The contributing authors, though contemporaneous, represent divergent experiences, backgrounds, and worldviews within the same historical period. Their works collectively reflect the nuanced evolution of the novel as a form and offer critical insights into the changing roles of women, both within the literary world and in society at large. The Brontës' raw emotional power and gothic elements contrast with Austen's brilliant satire of Georgian society, yet each author's work is a testament to the enduring power of narrative to challenge and reflect the complexities of human nature. This anthology is an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in 19th-century English literature. By juxtaposing the works of Austen and the Brontë sisters, it provides a unique opportunity to engage with the era's preeminent voices in a comprehensive dialogue. Readers will not only gain a deeper appreciation for the individual talents of each author but will also witness the collective evolution of the novel as a reflective and transformative medium. This collection is a treasure trove of literary mastery, inviting readers to explore the depths of human emotion, societal constraints, and the timeless pursuit of personal fulfillment.

Download or read book Wuthering Heights Ed Newman written by Emily Brontë and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a hundred and fifty years after its initial publication, Emily Brontë’s turbulent portrayal of the Earnshaws and the Lintons, two northern English households nearly destroyed by violent passions in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, continues to provoke and fascinate readers. Heathcliff remains one of the best-known characters in the English novel, and Catherine Earnshaw’s impossible choice between two rivals retains its appeal for contemporary readers. At the same time, the novel’s highly ambivalent representations of domesticity, its famous reticence about its characters and their actions, its formal features as a story within a story, and the mystery of Heathcliff’s origins and identity provide material for classroom discussion at every level of study. The introduction and appendices to this Broadview edition, which place Brontë’s life and novel in the context of the developing “Brontë myth,” explore the impact of industrialization on the people of Yorkshire, consider the novel’s representation of gender, and survey the ways contemporary scholarship has sought to account for Heathcliff, open up multiple contexts within which Wuthering Heights can be read, understood, and enjoyed.
