Synopsis: Heads explode. Parasites fly at people's faces. Television sets breathe. A woman grows a spike in her armpit and unleashes a cataclysm on the world. These are the startling images David Cronenberg uses to shock and disturb us as his films travel through a nightmare world where the grotesque and the bizarre make our flesh creep.
Yet beneath the blood and gore, Cronenberg has carved out a reputation as one of the masters of the horror and science-fiction genre. Undaunted by the controversy which has followed him throughout his career, Canada's own "Baron of Blood" and "Prince of Horror" continues to dazzle audiences with the shocking force and power of his vision.
This book is the first to deal with the work of Cronenberg. Seven critics examine what it is that these horrific films are saying to us. They explore and analyze all of Cronenberg's explosive creations, from the unique Stereo, through such masterpieces as The Brood, Scanners and Videodrome, to The Dead Zone.
Serving as a counterpoint and insight into the man and his work is a frank, searching and comprehensive interview with Cronenberg himself - a brilliant and relentlessly provocative challenger of our sensibilities and our passions.
