Aprašymas

PATHS CROSS - What is the relationship between Senator Greg Stillson and murderous preacher Harry Powell? How did sweet Alice Spages meet Roman and Minnie Castavet? What happens when Laura Mars gets into Travis Bickle's taxi?

STORIES ENTWINE - What links Michael Myers to the strange town of Twin Peaks? How is Clint Eastwood's nameless Stranger connected to 'Dirty' Harry Callaghan? What Paranormal Activity goes on in the shadows of Hill House?

In the follow-up to his acclaimed England's Screaming, Sean Hogan acts as your guide through the liminal spaces of North American horror, down Nightmare Alleys and across High Plains, following the Lost Highway all the way to the Bates Motel. At once fiction and criticism, Twilight's Last Screaming masterfully examines how our experience of cinema takes on an imaginative life of its own. It deconstructs and reassembles genre film into unfamiliar but recognisable shapes, mapping the history of the American horror movie, and ultimately, the dark heart of America itself.
