Description
Bloody Women: Women Directors of Horror is the first book-length exploration of female creators at the cutting edge of contemporary horror, turning out some of its most inspired and twisted offerings.
Bloody Women combines irreverence, an encyclopedic knowledge of film and the filmmaker’s craft, scholarly acuity, and a sense of humor. The contributors have buried the misogynistic stereotype of the horror genre. More than just another academic reading of pop culture, Clarke and McCollum have offered a gift to fans and a love letter to the women who shaped the genre.
Bloody Women offers a timely and critical intervention in Horror Cinema Studies, considering horror cinema made by women, horror cinema watched by women, and female representation in horror cinema. McCollum and Clarke have skillfully framed the discussion and drawn together a diverse range of authors (theorists, historians, practitioners) and topics. This is a must-read volume for scholars, students and fans alike.
Victoria McCollumis senior lecturer in cinematic arts at Ulster University.
