Description:
This is a terrific book on a fascinating topic that seems, in certain ways, to have been hiding in plain sight: the connection of images and discourses of disability to those wildly influential, iconic American horror films of the 1930s. In those films, such as Dracula , Frankenstein , and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , monstrosity came to the screen in such indelible forms that their cinematic descendants continue to haunt us to this day. But where did those images of monstrosity come from in the first place?
