Description: "An auteur and the creator of multiple cinematic universes, James Wan has become one of the most successful directors in history, his films breaking box office records worldwide. Yet there is little scholarship on Wan's work.

For the first time, Wan's films are explored in-depth from wide range of critical perspectives"--
