Recenzii
The Ghost in the Image is a useful attempt to develop a theoretical framework with which to analyse horror's hydra like expansion beyond its fictional domain as it co-opts the factual in its desire to keep the customers coming back for more.
How does the horror genre bleed into documentary forms of seeing and knowing? The Ghost in the Image shows us how rich and complex this question becomes across a broad range of visual media in the digital era, and Cecilia Sayad proves an expert guide through the fascinating territory where nightmares and reality collide.
A powerful book that threads the tendrils of the natural and supernatural world into a persuasive argument on popular culture and paranormal phenomena.
