by Emma Westwood From the beginning of cinema, things that go bump in the night have colored our collective storytelling experience. The hypothetical 'monster,' in whatever guise or otherworldly shape it may take, is the manifestation of our fears and social paranoias, and an effective watchdog for making sure we all toe the line. This book peels back the flesh on a few monsters that have tingled our spines and caused more than a few nightmares over the past 100 years, from the creepy talons of Max Schreck in 1922's Nosferatu through the Tokyo-stomping Godzilla, to present-day cinematic monsters from such touchstones as Alien, King Kong, The Fly, and Evil Dead.

With her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, Wonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes. But this close look at her history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world. In the 1950s, Wonder Woman begrudgingly continued her superheroic mission, wishing she could settle down with her boyfriend instead, all while continually hinting at hidden lesbian leanings. While other female characters stepped forward as women's lib took off in the late 1960s, Wonder Woman fell backwards, losing her superpowers and flitting from man to man. Ms. Magazine and Lynda Carter restored Wonder Woman's feminist strength in the 1970s, turning her into a powerful symbol as her checkered past was quickly forgotten. Exploring this lost history as well as her modern incarnations adds new dimensions to the world's most beloved female character, and Wonder Woman Unbound delves into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the myriad motivations of her creators to showcase the peculiar journey that led to Wonder Woman's iconic status.

(W) Mark Raby Delving into a world where the living dead really do walk the earth, this exploration turns the myth of zombies into a frightening - and hilarious - reality. Whether in an alternate universe or 100 years into the future, the invasion of the undead will indeed happen, putting everyone at risk of either knowing a zombie or becoming one. Instead of creating an apartheid society of living and undead, this study suggests that the future human race integrate themselves with zombies, simply accepting the inevitable loss of life in the long run.

(W) Craig Cabell Few roles in television history are as iconic, demanding, or as anticipated by its legion of fans as that of the famous time traveler with two hearts. This compendium of facts about the men behind the role reveals to fans who was a bouncer for the Rolling Stones before taking control of the TARDIS, who was nearly blown up in World War II aboard HMS Hood, who had a fondness for wooly hats and a grandson who would become Harry Potter's nemesis, and who played a transvestite barmaid before becoming a Who heart-throb. All these bizarre facts are explained as the lives and careers of each Doctor are put under the spotlight. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(W) Brian J. Robb Brian J. Robb, writer for Doctor Who Magazine and editor of Torchwood Magazine, tackles each decade of Doctor Who through a unique political, pop cultural, and historical viewpoint, exploring the links between contemporary Britain and the stories the series told, as well as how such links kept the show popular. Chapters range from discussions on the cultural and political relevance of the monsters of the 1960s to the late 1980s cancellation of the show and the ways in which a narrowly focused, dedicated fandom contributed to the show's demise. This history also analyzes the new series to reveal what has made it so popular and how it reflects real world issues. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
