{"product_id":"9781913051211-house-of-psychotic-women-expanded-edition","title":"Janisse Kier - La - House Of Psychotic Women Expanded Edition - Hardcover","description":"Binding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: In 2012, a book debuted that would go on to canonical status and usher in a new way of writing about film. Kier - La Janisse's House OF Psychotic Women explored hundreds of films through a daringly personal lens. In this pioneering work anecdotes and memories interweave with film history criticism trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and an examination of female madness both onscreen and off. Cinema is full of neurotic personalities but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Horror as a genre provides the most welcoming platform for these histrionics: crippling paranoia desperate loneliness masochistic death - wishes dangerous obsessiveness apocalyptic hysteria. Unlike her male counterpart - 'the eccentric - the female neurotic lives a shamed existence making these films those rare places where her destructive emotions get to play. This sharply - designed book including a 48 - page full - colour section is packed with 680 rare stills posters pressbooks and artwork throughout that combine with family photos and artifacts to form a titillating sensory overload with a filmography that traverses the acclaimed and the obscure in equal measure. Tim Lucas of Video Watchdog called it 'groundbreaking' no - wave icon Lydia Lunch called it 'a masterpiece' and Molly Ringwald said she 'devoured this compelling surprising and moving book'. To mark its 10th anniversary Kier - La Janisse and FAB Press have reteamed to produce an expanded edition the book featuring new writing on 100 more films - many of which were inspired in part by the book itself - and hundreds of new images. This first pressing of the Expanded Edition has been issued as a large format hardcover.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: House Of Psychotic Women Expanded Edition\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Janisse Kier - La\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Fab Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781913051211\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 448 Pages, 600 Illustrations, Unspecified\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/4\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Autobiography: General","brand":"Janisse Kier - La","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49626563051825,"sku":"IN-G-9781913051211","price":42.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781913051211.jpg?v=1724913173","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781913051211-house-of-psychotic-women-expanded-edition","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
