Came for the cultural analysis/critique on how “unstable” women have been portrayed in horror films. Stayed for the incredibly honest memoir that’s woven throughout that analysis. At times hard to read (well, I listened) due to the extremely heavy topics touched on both in the films and the author’s life, there is zero sugarcoating done in this book.

“She leant her head down and pressed her nose upon my crown. Taking a deep breath, she told me, ‘You smell like rotten meat.’”
And who set that system up??? 🤨
