David Fincher's Zodiac

This is an important study in regards to David Fincher, Zodiac, and the true crime story upon which it is based. The collection exposes and examines the topics, and our fascination with them, in surprising ways. – Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, author of 1000 Women in Horror and The Giallo CanvasThough arguably the most interesting serial-killer film since Hitchcock’s Psycho, David Fincher’s Zodiac has not yet received as much high-level critical analysis as it deserves. This exciting new anthology goes a long way toward remedying the deficiency. Written from a variety of perspectives and with a wide range of concerns, this volume is especially strong in helping us to understand the film in its various cultural and historical contexts and with regard to its complex narrative strategies. – Carl Freedman, Willam A. Read Professor of English Literature at Louisiana State University and author of Versions of Crime Cinema and American Presidents and Oliver Stone
