I love a good horror like most people, but I never really thought about the history of them, that was until now. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a J.A. Kerswell’s great book, Teenage Wasteland The Slasher Movie Uncut.
After going through the book over the last day or so, I was taken in by the history of slasher cinema and the more I read, the more I wanted to know, thanks to the fact that there has been so much research that has gone into this book. It’s unbelievable.
The writing is very funny in most parts and extremely informative. It is literary packed with in-depth reviews of the best slasher films, I have learned so much about the genre (and sub-genres) and also increase my LOVEFiLM queue! It scares me how much time this book must have taken to be put together.
I have been reminiscing over some of the films reviewed and featured, like Slumber Party Massacre, Girls Nite Out and Friday The 13th. The posters, pics and artwork and simply stunning. I would love to have some of these posters framed.
The book is rammed with lots of info, and a fantastic, thoughtful, vibrant read for anyone who loves horror, especially those slashers, and I can’t recommend it highly.
Teenage Wasteland: The Slasher Movie Uncut by J. A. Kerswell is published by New Holland Publishers, price £15.99, 208 pages, paperback.
