Summary:	"The book explores the role of all sorts of labor, and sometimes its lack, in horror films and how the "monstrousness of work" has long played a part in the genre. It addresses not only the economic restructuring that defined the 1970s and 1980s but also modes and conditions of labor that have emerged or gained greater recognition since that period: domestic and reproductive labor, emotion work and emotional labor, the digital economy, social media and self-branding, intellectual and imaginative labor, service work, precarity, and underemployment"--
