Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. All monsters need feeding.Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Haunting of Hill House, Yellowjackets and countless other horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: what's wrong with you? Implying, of course, that there is something not quite right about the people who make and consume it. In Feeding the Monster, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power.

She’s too angry. Too weird. Too messy. And now, she’s the main character.Unlikeable Female Characters is a fierce, funny, and razor-sharp takedown of the cultural obsession with “likeable” women—and a celebration of the flawed female icons who broke the rules.From Amy Dunne in Gone Girl to Regina George, Fleabag, and Skyler White, these are the women who provoke, polarize, and captivate. Anna Bogutskaya—film programmer, broadcaster, and co-founder of the horror collective and podcast The Final Girls—dives into nine pop culture archetypes, from The Bitch and The Psycho to The Slut and The Trainwreck. She shows how these characters were once used to punish women on screen, and why audiences are now starting to celebrate them instead.This is not just a book about characters. It’s about the real-life expectations that hem women in, and the stories that finally let them out.Why you’ll love it:Bold feminist insight wrapped in wit and pop savvyCultural deep-dives across film, TV, and music—from Bette Davis to Promising Young WomanA must-read for fans of complex female leads and feminist cultural critiquePraise for Unlikeable Female Characters:"Fascinating, insightful, and kick-ass." —Emma Jane Unsworth, internationally bestselling author of Grown Ups and Animals"Beautifully written." —Chelsea G.
