To acknowledge the 40th anniversary of one of the most notorious films ever made, my book I Spit on Your Grave is now available to buy from Columbia University Press at

https://cup.columbia.edu/book/i-spit-on-your-grave/9780231188753

This is the first book dedicated to the film and examines why the film still continues to provoke fierce debate forty years on, not only investigating the historical, social, and political landscape into which the film was first released—and condemned—but also examining how it is has inadvertently become ground zero for the rape-revenge genre because of its countless imitators. The book explores how academic study has re-evaluated the film’s importance as a cultural statement on gender, the conflicting readings that it throws up, the timeless appeal of its story as examined through folklore and mythology, and its updating to reflect contemporary issues in a post-9/11 world of vengeance and retaliation.
