"L�zaro-Reboll's monograph is a timely addition to the growing field of Spanish Horror film. It complements other foundational works, mainly in Spanish, that have taken a more encyclopaedic approach... it will become essential reading for both academics working in Spanish horror and enthusiasts of Euro Horror. In its incorporation of discourses surrounding fandom and consumption, Spanish Horror Film demonstrates more widely how taste and critical processes behind genre classification have been fundamental to the creation of a horror tradition and, in the case of Spanish cinema, how the study of horror films may result in a 'refigur[ing] [of] related film histories' --Xavier Aldana Reyes, Manchester Metropolitan University ""The Gothic Imagination"""
