For a lot of people, losing weight and building muscle can be a difficult process, especially if they have never done it before. So they buy a book. Or two. Or three. In search of that one piece of advice that changes their life. But reading a fitness book doesn't help unless you have consciously made the decision to do it. A book can give you direction and workout ideas and priorities. Not the motivation. Fitness books are design to support all your goals and opening the one on your shelf or even just picking one up to browse at the store can provide you tools that you didn't even know you...

Through films such as Orphan, Insidious, and Carrie, Kimberly Jackson reveals how the destruction of male figures and the depictions of female monstrosity in twenty-first-century horror cinema suggest that contemporary American culture finds itself at a cultural standstill between a post-patriarchal society and post-feminist ideology.

Through a wide spectrum of horror sub-genres, this book examines how the current state of horror reflects the anxieties in Western culture. Horror films bring them to a mass audience and offer new figures for the nameless faceless 'antagonist' that plagues us and provides material with which to build a different understanding of ourselves.
