- Double-weighted statement
- This 160,000 word research monograph was published by Edinburgh University Press in 2018. In 15 chapters, the author illuminates a largely overlooked body of moving pictures (i.e. American Horror Films) released during the era of early cinema, as well as the contexts that informed these films. The breadth and depth of the work is substantial, ranging from early silent cinema, through phantasmagoria, ghosts and devils, via photographs of “real-life horrors” to discussions of audience reception.
