House of Psychotic Women: An Autobiographical Topography of Female Neurosis in Horror and Exploitation Films by Kier-La Janisse
challenging
dark
informative
reflective
slow-paced
Long form review coming! I have a lot of thoughts kicking around about this book.
Almost all of the CWs are related to the films Janisse references and discusses in graphic detail. It’s a book about horror and exploitation films - read with care!
