About the book
Monsters are the manifestation of our fears and social paranoias, and an effective watchdog for making sure we all toe the line. Through literature, the monster has found a lasting legacy but, through cinema, it has developed from black & white into full Technicolor glory, making the Monster Movie an enduring document of social times, movements, fears and desires. This book peels back the flesh on a few of the monsters that have tingled our spines and caused more than a nightmare over the past 100 years.
