A collection of essays filled with macabre humor and intelligence examining iconic works from James Baldwin to Twin Peaks. Illuminating the widespread obsession with women who are abused, killed, and disenfranchised, and whose bodies are used as props to bolster men’s stories, Bolin investigates the implications of our cultural fixations. Essays range in critique from chronicling her life in LA, her coming of age, to stories about witches and werewolves.
