"Canto il corpo elettrico / le schiere di quelli che amo mi abbracciano e io li abbraccio / non mi lasceranno sinché non andrà con loro, non risponderà loro / e li purificherà, li caricherà in pieno con il carico dell'anima".

From its first publication in 1992, Men, Women, and Chain Saws has offered a groundbreaking perspective on the creativity and influence of horror cinema since the mid-1970s.

When Dan Werb began to study these murders in 2013, rather than viewing them in isolation, he discovered that they could be understood only as one symptom among many.
