Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to Men, Women, and Chain Saws, I found myself drawn into Clover's compelling narrative, which is as much about the cultural context of horror cinema as it is about the art form itself. Eva Wilhelm's narration is a standout element, imbuing the text with a sense of curiosity and wonder that perfectly captures Clover's infectious enthusiasm. However, at times I felt that Wilhelm's pacing could be a bit more varied, particularly in the more theoretical sections where the ideas feel dense and complex.
