In 2012, a book debuted that would go on to canonical status and usher in a new way of writing about film. Kier-La Janisse''s HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN explored hundreds of films through a daringly personal lens. In this pioneering work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and an examination of female madness, both onscreen and off. Cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Horror as a genre provides the most welcoming platform for these histrionics: crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness, apocalyptic hysteria. Unlike her male counterpart - ''the eccentric'' - the female neurotic lives a shamed existence, making these films those rare places where her destructive emotions get to play. This sharply-designed book, including a 48-page full-colour section, is packed with 680 rare stills, posters, pressbooks and artwork throughout, that combine with family photos and artifacts to form a titillating sensory overload, with a filmography that traverses the acclaimed and the obscure in equal measure. Tim Lucas of Video Watchdog called it ''groundbreaking'', no-wave icon Lydia Lunch called it ''a masterpiece'', and Molly Ringwald said she ''devoured this compelling, surprising, and moving book''. Re-issued on its 10th anniversary in hardcover to great acclaim, featuring new writing on 100 more films - many of which were inspired in part by the book itself - and hundreds of new images, the expanded edition of Kier-Janisse''s renowned text is now available in paperback.
