Reviews

This is a superb study of contemporary Spanish horror film and TV productions from a transnational framework of analysis. -Jorge Perez, University of Kansas, USA Timely and relevant, this book offers sophisticated and lucid readings of contemporary films and television and brilliantly maps the recent 'Spanish horror mania' whilst advancing the academic study of Spanish horror in theoretically and historically informed ways. This is an indispensable book for anyone wishing to understand the recent boom in horror in Spanish film and television. -Sarah Wright, Royal Holloway, University of London
