Planks of Reason: Essays on the Horror Film
ISBN: 9780810850132 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The original edition of Planks of Reason was the first academic critical anthology on horror. In retrospect, it appeared as a kind of homage to the "golden age" of the American horror film, as this genre played an increasing role in film culture and American life. The original material represented the history of the genre through the early 1980s and is a crucial part of the book's value, then and now. The first edition helped legitimize academic writing on the horror genre by addressing breakthrough works of such directors as John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, George Romero, David Cronenberg, and...
