Description

Twilight's Last Screaming by Sean Hogan This book masterfully examines how our experience of cinema takes on an imaginative life of its own, deconstructing and reassembling genre film into unfamiliar but recognisable shapes. By mapping the history of the American horror movie, Hogan sheds light on the dark heart of America itself. Through a unique blend of fiction and criticism, Hogan explores the connections between seemingly disparate films, revealing the hidden patterns and themes that underpin the genre. From the streets of North America to the shadows of Hill House, this book takes readers on a journey through the liminal spaces of horror cinema. By examining the ways in which cinema influences and is influenced by our culture, Hogan creates a work that is both a love letter to the genre and a thought-provoking critique of its place in our society.
