Set to be released in the summer of 2017, this collection of essays covers the wide range of Rollin\u2019s career from 1968\u2019s <i>Le viol du vampire<\/i> through his 2010 swansong, <i>Le masque de la m&eacute;duse<\/i>, touching upon his horror, fantasy, crime and sex films\u2014including many lesser seen titles. The book closely examines Rollin\u2019s core themes: his focus on overwhelmingly female protagonists, his use of horror genre and exploitation tropes, his reinterpretations of the fairy tale and fantastique, the influence of crime serials, Gothic literature and the occult, as well as much more.<\/p>\n<p><i>Lost Girls<\/i> is the third book in Spectacular Optical\u2019s ongoing series of

precede the previously announced <i>Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror in Film and Television<\/i>, which will be released in fall of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Curated and edited by Samm Deighan (Diabolique), contributors to <i>Lost Girls<\/i> include some of the most important critical voices to emerge over the last decade of genre journalism: Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (Senses of Cinema), Kat Ellinger
