Cultographies: Welcome
a new series of books on the weird and wonderful world of cult cinema
Cultographies provides a comprehensive introduction to those films which have attained the coveted status of cult classic, focusing on their particular appeal, the ways in which they have been conceived, constructed and received, and their place in the broader popular cultural landscape.
