Download or read book American Horrors written by Gregory Albert Waller and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the release of Rosemary's Baby in 1968, the American horror film has become one of the most diverse, commercially successful, widely discussed, and culturally significant film genres. Drawing on a wide range of critical methods---from close textual readings and structuralist genre criticism to psychoanalytical, feminist, and ideological analyses---the authors examine individual films, directors, and subgenres. In this collection of twelve essays, Gregory Waller balances detailed studies of both popular films (Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist, and Halloween) and particularly problematic films (Don't Look Now and Eyes of Laura Mars) with discussions of such central thematic preoccupations as the genre's representation of violence and female victims, its reflexivity and playfulness, and its ongoing redefinition of the monstrous and the normal. In addition, American Horrors includes a filmography of movies and telefilms and an annotated bibliography of books and articles about horror since 1968.

Download or read book Prague written by Chad Bryant and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant reflection on alienation and belonging, told through the lives of five remarkable people who struggled against nationalism and intolerance in one of Europe’s most stunning cities. What does it mean to belong somewhere? For many of Prague’s inhabitants, belonging has been linked to the nation, embodied in the capital city. Grandiose medieval buildings and monuments to national heroes boast of a glorious, shared history. Past governments, democratic and Communist, layered the city with architecture that melded politics and nationhood. Not all inhabitants, however, felt included in these efforts to nurture national belonging. Socialists, dissidents, Jews, Germans, and Vietnamese—all have been subject to hatred and political persecution in the city they called home. Chad Bryant tells the stories of five marginalized individuals who, over the last two centuries, forged their own notions of belonging in one of Europe’s great cities. An aspiring guidebook writer, a German-speaking newspaperman, a Bolshevik carpenter, an actress of mixed heritage who came of age during the Communist terror, and a Czech-speaking Vietnamese blogger: none of them is famous, but their lives are revealing. They speak to tensions between exclusionary nationalism and on-the-ground diversity. In their struggles against alienation and dislocation, they forged alternative communities in cafes, workplaces, and online. While strolling park paths, joining political marches, or writing about their lives, these outsiders came to embody a city that, on its surface, was built for others. A powerful and creative meditation on place and nation, the individual and community, Prague envisions how cohesion and difference might coexist as it acknowledges a need common to all.

Download or read book The Monstrous Vision of the Cthulhu Call Book 1 Horror written by Lisa Shea and published by Lisa Shea. This book was released on with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was cosmic fate that I was a thought-after grand-niece, for it meant when Tobias passed away from his delirium that his run-down apartment in Providence, Rhode Island became available to me. Fate, too, that the abhorrent discovery of my girlfriend cheating on me with a nautical blonde drove me back to a city I swore I would never live in again. But the fates had an even more horrific plan in store for me. For in the dusty back room of my grand-uncle's third floor awaited three musty, long-abandoned boxes. And when curiosity drove me to open the lid ... * * * The Monstrous Vision of the Cthulhu Call is book one in my series: A Lovecraft Romp Through Every Genre There Is – And Some That Are Not. As the title might indicate, I was informed by a fellow author that every series absolutely must stay within a well-defined genre. Being a contrarian, I promptly set out to write a series in which each subsequent story is set with the same characters in a wildly different genre. I would love to hear your thoughts as I write this series as to which genres I should tackle next. Space Opera? Cozy Mystery? Amish Romance? The fun of me posting series as I write them is that it provides you, the reader, with an opportunity to shape and guide the results! Book 1 is the Horror Genre book. I will post a boxed set when I finish, for those who prefer to read series all at once. A portion of all proceeds benefit battered women's shelters. I lived in Providence for two years and the series is based on where I lived.

Download or read book Terrors of Uncertainty Routledge Revivals written by Joseph Grixti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Frankenstein and Dracula to Psycho and The Chainsaw Massacre, horror fiction has provided our culture with some of its most enduring themes and narratives. Considering horror fiction both as a genre and as a social phenomenon, Joseph Grixti provides a theoretical and historical framework for reconsidering horror and the cultural apparatus that surrounds it. First published in 1989, this book looks at shifts in the genre’s meaning – its fascination with excess, its commentaries on the categories and boundaries of culture – and at interpretations of horror from psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, cultural and media studies. Terrors of Uncertainty brings together a provocative range of perspectives from across the disciplines, which combine to raise important questions about the relationship between fiction and society, and the way in which we use fiction to resolve or evade our fears of uncertainty.
