Writing Horror and the Body : The Fiction of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Anne Rice (Contributions to the Study of Popular Culture)

Rating:
Summary: Not for the casual fan
Review: While Badley raises a few interesting points, she takes the literature far too seriously and will lose many readers because of her writing style, which is too heavy with academia. She also seems to have a feminist axe to grind, as she spends a great deal of space writing about feminist elements in the authors' work.

I would recommend looking for this at the library if you feel you must read it. There's not enough here to merit the cover price.
