{"product_id":"modern-ghost-melodramas","title":"Modern Ghost Melodramas","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe popular and critical successes of films like \u003ci\u003eThe Sixth Sense\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ring\u003c\/i\u003e and its sequels in the late 1990s led to an impressive international explosion of scary films dealing with ghosts. This book takes a close look at a number of those films from different countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and Great Britain. Making a crucial distinction between these atmospheric films and conventional horror, Michael Walker argues that they are most productively seen as ghost melodramas, which opens them up to a powerful range of analytic tools from the study of melodrama, including, crucially, psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56280794595672,"sku":"9781041182986","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041182986_e8f3f5ac-df5d-4d16-bc34-fedce4c3cf31.jpg?v=1778680882","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/modern-ghost-melodramas","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
