About the Author
For those smarty-pants who approach their horror entertainment from an academic perspective….Armed with her bushel of horror touchstones, Robinson divides her 200-page treatise into six chapters, each covering a particular lesson, from ‘Listen to Your Elders’ to ‘Teens Never Learn’….much of Life Lessons from Slasher Films is similarly thought-provoking…. 4 out of 5 Skulls.
