“This is the book I’ve waited my whole movie-geek life for. I found a kindred spirit in Hall, who clearly loves these movies and yet also struggles with their very nature and their meaning. Thus is the reality of the Indigenous horror movie fan, enamored and angered all at once. I’m so thrilled this book exists, for scholars, fans, and fi lmmakers the world over.”
—Jesse Wente, bestselling author of Unreconciled: Family, Truth, and Indigenous Resistance

“Bloody Bodies, Bloody Landscapes: Settler Colonialism in Horror is a must read for anyone consuming horror media. Laura Hall masterfully executes dissecting the ways in which settler-colonialism is at the core of, sexism, racism, sanism, and white supremacy, and how we see those systems of oppression at work in historical and contemporary horror.”
—Jessica Johns, bestselling author of Bad Cree

“Bloodied Bodies, Bloody Landscapes is brilliant scholarship that pinpoints the ugly truth about the treatment of Indigenous people in horror cinema. But Hall is doing much more than examining tropes of mysticism, savagery, and settler colonialism-as savior in horror; she is directing our attention to the recuperative power of certain portrayals, thereby reminding us that an anticolonial lens can produce whole and full human stories—even scary ones.”
—Robin R. Means Coleman, author of The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror from Fodder to Oscar

“Bloodied Bodies, Bloody Landscapes seeks to unsettle key concepts in horror by placing it into conversation with settler colonial studies.”
—Jacob Floyd, author of Cinematic Comanches

“Bloodied Bodies, Bloody Landscapes is deadly. It expertly foregrounds the most overlooked horror in this fi lm genre—settler colonialism.”
