Here's something I really enjoyed writing: an essay on metamorphosing women in horror cinema and their complex roots in colonial ethnographies, with last year's wonderful 'Tiger Stripes' by Malaysian director Amanda Nell Eu as the starting point. strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/ti…

Tiger Style And Other (Post)colonial Metamorphoses by Mikko Toivanen "Amanda Nell Eu’s Tiger Stripes is a fitting [..] work of defiantly forward-looking Southeast Asian cinema that reinterprets myths for local and global audiences." Read the full article at the link in our bio!
