What We Are Reading Today: Scream With Me by Eleanor Johnson

Eleanor Johnson’s “Scream With Me” is a compelling, intelligent, and timely exploration of the horror genre, shedding light on how classic horror films demonstrate larger cultural attitudes about women’s rights and bodily autonomy.
While on the one hand a joyful celebration of seminal and beloved horror films, the book is also an unflinching and timely recognition of the power of this genre to shape and reflect cultural dialogues about gender and power.
