A collection of scholarship on monsters and their meaningacross genres, disciplines, methodologies, and timefrom foundational texts to the most recent contributions

Zombies and vampires, banshees and basilisks, demons and wendigos, goblins, gorgons, golems, and ghosts. From the mythical monstrous races of the ancient world to the murderous cyborgs of our day, monsters have haunted the human imagination, giving shape to the fears and desires of their time. And as long as there have been monsters, there have been attempts to make sense of them, to explain where they come from and what they mean. This book collects the best of what contemporary scholars have to say on the subject, in the process creating a map of the monstrous across the vast and complex terrain of the human psyche.
Editor Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock prepares the way with a genealogy of monster theory, traveling from the earliest explanations of monsters through psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, and cultural studies, to the development of monster theory per seand including Jeffrey Jerome Cohens foundational essay Monster Theory (Seven Theses), reproduced here in its entirety. There follow sections devoted to the terminology and concepts used in talking about monstrosity  the relevance of race, religion, gender, class, sexuality, and physical appearance  the application of monster theory to contemporary cultural concerns such as ecology, religion, and terrorism  and finally the possibilities monsters present for envisioning a different future. 
Including the most interesting and important proponents of monster theory and its progenitors, from Sigmund Freud to Julia Kristeva to J. Halberstam, Donna Haraway, Barbara Creed, and Stephen T. Asmaas well as harder-to-find contributions such as Robin Woods and Masahiro Moristhis is the most extensive and comprehensive collection of scholarship on monsters and monstrosity across disciplines and methods ever to be assembled and will serve as an invaluable resource for students of the uncanny in all its guises.
