No Go The Bogeyman: Scaring, Lulling, And Making Mock by Marina Warner

Ogres and giants, bogeymen and bugaboos embody some of our deepest fears, dominating popular fiction, from tales such as 'Jack the Giant Killer' to the cannibal monster Hannibal Lecter, from the Titans of Greek mythology to the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park, from Frankenstein to Men in Black. Following her study of fairy tales, From the beast to the Blonde, Marina Warner's new book explores the ever-increasing presence of such figures of male terror, and the stratagems we invent to allay the monsters we conjure up. From ogres to cradle songs, from bananas to cannibals, Warner traces the roots of our commonest anxieties, unravelling with vigorous intelligence, originality and relish, the myths and fears which define our sensibilities. This 2000 Vintage Paperback is in very good condition. Heavy.
