Pretend We're Dead: Capitalist Monsters in American Pop Culture Paperback - 2006

by Annalee Newitz


From the rear cover

"Of all the modern (and postmodern) culture commentators, Annalee Newitz has the perfect blend of a fan's unabashed enthusiasm and a true critic's engaged, iconoclastic insights and questions. Casual and smart, bold yet breezy, "Pretend We're Dead" won't just make you take a second look at the landscape of modern horror--it'll make you look at modern consumerist life (and death) with fresh eyes."--James Rocchi, editor in chief of cinematical.com and film critic for cbs-5 San Francisco
