Reviews

This book, indeed, may bite. The best books often do. --PopMatters Weinstock's organization is carefully considered, and the overlap between some of the arguments and works cited between essays suggests that the discipline of monster theory has been built on a bedrock of canonical sources, several of which--most notably Freud's The Uncanny --are included in the first section of this book. --CHOICE In the real world, monstrosity is used as a vague catch-all to justify acts of violence and even murder; these essays offer readers a digestible and critical examination of the monstrous as a way to force us to consider the politics behind what we deem monstrous, and how a deeper understanding of what haunts us may lead to a new, previously unimagined, future. --Ploughshares An entertaining subject for students. --Gramarye
