Book Description
This book will assist you greatly if you or someone you know has PTSD,' and it seems impossible to shake the Anxiety and Depression. Overcoming unhealthy cycles of abuse, wrong attitudes, and corrupt thinking is not easy. However, the hard work pays off; I am no longer in a psychological prison, my soul has been set free, and I have made it through the darkest 7-years of my life. Anxiety was always a part of my perceived everyday life from childhood; it became increasingly difficult to manage in adulthood. The Depression worsened in my late 40's when [PTSD] uninvitedly reared its ugly head. It takes great courage to face demons that cause us to live in fear, doubt, and confusion, robbing us of our health, finances, and yes, even our very lives if we do nothing about it. Each mountain I overcame gave me the strength and courage to continue to press on until my breakthrough arrived. If you are unwell or supporting someone facing mental challenges, this book will encourage you not to give up. You may not see it now, but the road ahead has keys to help you unlock the doors to your healing. I long to see people set free from the tormenting mind games and anguish that kept me captive most of my life. Should you choose to invest in yourself now by dealing with the unresolved emotion attached to painful memories, you will find life is not that bad after all. Enough is enough! I want my life back. How about you?

Book Description
Horror cinema flourishes in times of ideological crisis and national trauma--the Great Depression, the Cold War, the Vietnam era, post-9/11--and this critical text argues that a succession of filmmakers working in horror--from James Whale to Jen and Sylvia Soska--have used the genre, and the shock value it affords, to challenge the status quo during these times. Spanning the decades from the 1930s onward it examines the work of producers and directors as varied as George A. Romero, Pete Walker, Michael Reeves, Herman Cohen, Wes Craven and Brian Yuzna and the ways in which films like Frankenstein (1931), Cat People (1942), The Woman (2011) and American Mary (2012) can be considered "subversive."
