The Streaming of Hill House

Essays on the Haunting Netflix Adaptation
Herausgeber: Wetmore, Kevin J.

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Haunting of Hill House has received both critical acclaim and heaps of contempt for its reimagining of Shirley Jackson's horror novel. This collection of essays goes beyond comparing the novel and the Netflix adaptation to look at the series through the lenses of gender, architecture, education, hauntology, addiction, and trauma studies.
