Now, in What Screams May Come, Sean Hogan continues his metafictional exploration of genre cinema, mapping out the shifting boundaries between fact and fantasy, asking exactly what constitutes a horror movie and if such films can help illuminate a larger truth about the commonplace fictions of the society we live in.
In these thirteen previously uncollected stories, you’ll discover the links between films as disparate as King Kong, Mulholland Drive, Angel Heart, and Pink The Wall.
