Martyn Conterio places the film in the historical context of being one of the first sound Italian horror films and how its success kick-started the Italian horror boom. The author considers the particularly Italian perspective on the gothic that the film pioneered and its fresh and pioneering approach to horror tropes such as the vampire and the witch and considers how the casting of British 'Scream Queen' Barbara Steele was crucial to the film's effectiveness and success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martyn Conterio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190673383X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906733834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Martyn Conterio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241537286399,"sku":"9781906733834","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b75fdc57-73cb-4a1f-808b-97835ef5ac6b.jpg?v=1772654853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-sunday-martyn-conterio-9781906733834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
