Mary Wild's presentation on David Bowie's 1970s transformation was a masterclass that Bowie fans and analyst groupies should check out. I was somewhat reminded of Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh's work with Corey Taylor (#Slipknot) on The Therapist (youtu.be/Azt8SRgwBJ8).

David Bowie as a young man literally holds a mask near his face.

When a film writer as beloved and respected as Andrew Pope says that my book is "a classic-in-the-making", it really is a special moment of amazement and gratitude 😭❤️ I'm so happy to get this 5-star review from one of the best and smartest film experts out there! Please read and share this review 🙏

In ‘Psychoanalysing Horror Cinema’ Mary Wild makes psychoanalysis the main lens through which to understand horror as a genre, and she does it for a mass audience. This is a must-read for horror-lovers, filling a major gap in their bookshelves. A triumph!
