Reviews
Miller and Van Riper have edited a bookshelf's worth of fascinating tomes, to which Dark Forces at Work is a valuable addition. Covering both canonical and more obscure horror films, it assembles a host of strong essays, surely of interest to any horror scholar. -- Murray Leeder, University of Calgary Cynthia Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper, who have made a name for themselves as co-editors of high-quality scholarly anthologies in the horror field, continue their hot streak with this latest volume, an examination of how American social trends and forces consistently inform representations of the monstrous in horror cinema and dramatize the great moral struggles and social issues of their time. While we are all now living through a particularly toxic political era, the essays in this anthology, through discussion of specific horror films, make the collective case that American civic life of the past several decades has been characterized by extremes. As Miller and Van Riper vividly illustrate in the pages of this book, fear of others and ourselves breathes potent life into the cinematic monsters of our imagination. -- Philip Simpson, Eastern Florida State College For editors Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper, "every era gets the monster it needs," and what with the age of Trump, nationalism, and sociopolitical unrest, there's no time like the present. For the last century, we've turned to celluloid to help project our monsters, but according to Miller and Van Riper, we too often ground our understanding of monsters in theory and criticism rather than the films and cultural moments that birth them. Dark Forces at Work assembles essays that broaden this conversation by engaging with the social and ideological forces that guide fear and the monstrous in horror cinema. For Miller and Van Riper, "[t]he forces that move, and move through, our personal and social worlds have, indeed, become dark," and to be sure readers will revel in the myriad dark worlds explored here. -- John Edgar Browning, Georgia Institute of Technology, Miller and Van Riper have edited a bookshelf's worth of fascinating tomes, to which Dark Forces at Work is a valuable addition.
