- Book Synopsis
- Using "Schindler's List", "The Silence of the Lambs", and "Apt Pupil" as case studies, this book challenges the classic horror frame - the narrative and visual borders used to demarcate monsters and the monstrous. Supported by thirty-six film and publicity stills, it also explores the commercial exploitation of suffering in film.
