{"product_id":"willful-monstrosity-natalie-wilson-9781476673448","title":"Willful Monstrosity: Gender and Race in 21st Century Horror","description":"\u003cp\u003e Taking in a wide range of film, television, and literature, this volume explores 21st century horror and its monsters from an intersectional perspective with a marked emphasis on gender and race. The analysis, which covers over 70 narratives, is organized around four primary monstrous figures--zombies, vampires, witches and monstrous women. Arguing that the current horror renaissance is populated with willful monsters that subvert prevailing cultural norms and systems of power, the discussion reads horror in relation to topics of particular import in the contemporary moment--rampant sexual violence, unbridled capitalist greed, brutality against people of color, militarism, and the patriarchy's refusal to die. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Examining ground-breaking films and television shows such as \u003ci\u003eGet Out, Us, The Babadook, A Quiet Place, Stranger Things, Penny Dreadful\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Passage\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as works by key authors like Justin Cronin, Carmen Maria Machado, Helen Oyeyemi, Margo Lanagan, and Jeanette Winterson, this monograph offers a thorough account of the horror landscape and what it says about the 21st century world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476673446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476673448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Natalie Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985702125823,"sku":"9781476673448","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db20df35-7caa-40f2-957b-2d3d18dedc7d.jpg?v=1683279060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/willful-monstrosity-natalie-wilson-9781476673448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
