Interweaving psychoanalysis, gender and cultural studies, and postmodern theories of geopolitics, this study of the monster in contemporary narratives demonstrates that the monster (and monstrosity) is largely a cultural and ideological production. Figures such as the serial killer, the monstrous child, deformed bodies and spatially-influenced monstrosity are considered in texts by Peter Ackroyd, Bret Easton Ellis, and Angela Carter among others.
