Review Quotes:
'In 2022, Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)' was discovered by a new generation of listeners, largely due to its use in the TV series 'Stranger Things'. Stephen Glynn's book provides a timely and insightful look at the ways in which Bush has engaged with visual media.'

'Sitting across music, video and film, Kate Bush and the Moving Image is a welcome new study of this important British artist. Stephen Glynn expertly weaves together close readings of Bush's music and her work as a video artist with an account of their cultural contexts and heritage. Glynn's knowledge of popular culture is remarkable in its range and depth. An innovative book on an innovative artist.'
