Reviews

""With the same far-reaching scope and incisive critical eye that they demonstrated in Infected Empires: Decolonizing Zombies, here Saldarriaga and Manini interrogate women, toxic imagination, and monstrosity in the horror film. The result is another tour de force."" -- Cynthia Steele * translator of Crónicas de la Nueva Esperanza / Chronicles of New Hope * ""Monsters vs. Patriarchy is an intelligent, politically charged exploration of global horror cinema, exposing how patriarchal power dehumanizes marginalized identities through 'toxic imagination.' Essential reading for those who see horror not just as entertainment, but as a lens, a weapon, and a force for radical resistance."" -- Angela Ndalianis * author of The Horror Sensorium: Media and the Senses *
