Another review of Fashioning Horror has been published, written by Dr Lorynn Divita, Baylor University in the Journal of Fashion Style and Popular Culture. Dr. Divita writes, that “the wide variety of subjects means that most any horror fan will find at least one chapter that appeals to them, whether they prefer slasher flicks or monster movies or another medium.” After a thorough summary of each chapter, Dr. Divita concludes the following:
Fashioning Horror comes at a particularly relevant moment in the zeitgeist,
as the film Get Out’s critical and commercial success, and the most recent
adaptation of Stephen King’s It rank as the ninth most popular film of 2017
demonstrate, horror is no longer a niche category, but a mainstream one. For
horror fans, this book provides a history and in-depth analysis of the meaning
and importance of costuming in the genre.
We thank Dr Divita for her thorough and flattering review.
