House of Psychotic Women has attained canonical status, having ushered in a new way of writing about film. Kier-La Janisse's acclaimed book is an autobiographical exploration of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films that examines hundreds of films through a daringly personal lens. In this pioneering work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and a consideration of female madness, both onscreen and off. Following the extraordinary success of its 10th anniversary expandedhardcover re-issue, which features new reviews of 100 more films-many of which were inspired in part by the book itself-and hundreds of new images, FAB Press have now published an affordable paperback edition.
