      "Prepare yourself. Are you ready? Really? You’re sure? Then take a deep breath and get comfy, because this is Stephen R. Bissette. There are no half measures. This book goes wide and it goes deep… It ranges across the history and lineage of the genre in film and literature, what came before The Brood and what came after; it opens doors on David Cronenberg’s biography and the author’s too. It looks at how ideas in natural history, science, mythology and metaphysics influenced the times and culture in which The Brood was conceived, and into which it was then born. It explores disturbing elements of Canadian cultural and political history involving the systemic abuse and experimentation on orphan children in the name of science. It looks at cults and deprogramming; and takes a bold and heartfelt look at how trauma and abuse affects not only the victims, but the people who love them. Not to mention the unique production and distribution history of this most unusual family drama. If is fresh, it is unique, and it is relentless in exploring new terrain. Join us as we explore David Cronenberg’s The Brood"--Back cover
