Ernest Mathijs does just that in this volume, which traces the inception, production, and reception of Canada's internationally renowned horror film, \u003cem\u003eGinger Snaps \u003c\/em\u003e(2000). This tongue-in-cheek Gothic film, which centres on two death-obsessed teenage sisters, draws a provocative connection between werewolf monstrosity and female adolescence and boasts a dedicated world-wide fan base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first book-length study of this popular film, \u003cem\u003eJohn Fawcett's Ginger Snaps\u003c\/em\u003e is based on the author's privileged access to most of its cast and crew and to its enthusiasts around the world. Examining themes of genre, feminism, identity, and adolescent belonging, Mathijs concludes that \u003cem\u003eGinger Snaps\u003c\/em\u003e deserves to be recognized as part of the Canadian canon, and that it is a model example of the kind of crossover cult film that remains unjustly undervalued by film scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernest Mathijs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442647590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442647596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Ernest Mathijs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449610350847,"sku":"9781442647596","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87427ee9-84ed-4370-8b3c-7ad1b3250826.jpg?v=1777264151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-fawcetts-ginger-snaps-ernest-mathijs-9781442647596","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
