Review Quotes:
'McCollum's standout edited collection is the first full-length study of the horror genre through the lens of the Trump era, offering a positive, progressive and pioneering perspective on popular culture as a site of cultural politics within a period that many would otherwise deem depressed, angered, paranoid and hopeless ... McCollum's study is an exceptionally brave and important piece of timely scholarship; one that will remain at the forefront of our imaginations as we move into a newly cast segment of the same American horror story.' - Harriet Stilley, European Journal of American Culture
'Including detailed and thought-provoking analysis, this collection is a worthwhile read.' - S. Pepper, Northeastern Illinois University, CHOICE
