Haunting the World

My latest book is now in paperback! Still expensive but not quite as horrendous & the code SNPS26 will give 30% off. Tis an academic book but I tried to write it to be more widely accessible. Stuff on Kelly Reichardt, PT Anderson, Tarkovsky, Alien, Herzog, Kubrick, etc. sunypress.edu/Books/H/Haun...

I said the same last year, but as interesting as the @sightsoundmag.bsky.social films of the year list is (and it is!), putting "How Many Have You Seen?" on the cover is just silly when almost half of the 50 films aren't available to UK audiences
