Alison is currently working on her fifth book, on, yes, you guessed it, horror film.

​

Here is the working premise, so far...

​

We are in a golden age of feminist horror filmmaking. We are, at the same time, in a golden age of feminist criticism on women’s work in the horror film genre. However, this has brought us to the point where we need to think carefully not just about which films we might want to analyse, but how we are studying these women filmmakers. We need to consider who we select for analysis and why we choose them, where we find our research materials and how we work with this data.

 

In short, now is the time to undertake a feminist historiography of horror film.

​

This research is funded by an Arts and Humanities Research Council Research, Development and Engagement Fellowship, 2022 - 2023, project reference AH/W000105/1.

 

In progress.
