Monsters arrived in 2011--and now they are back. Not only do they continue to live in our midst, but, as historian Scott Poole shows, these monsters are an important part of our past--a hideous obsession America cannot seem to escape.

Poole's central argument in Monsters in America is that monster tales intertwine with America's troubled history of racism, politics, class struggle, and gender inequality. The second edition of Monsters leads readers deeper into America's tangled past to show how monsters continue to haunt contemporary American ideology.

By adding new discussions of the American West, Poole focuses intently on the Native American experience. He reveals how monster stories went west to Sand Creek and Wounded Knee, bringing the preoccupation with monsters into the twentieth century through the American Indian Movement. In his new preface and expanded conclusion, Poole's tale connects to the present--illustrating the relationship between current social movements and their historical antecedents. This proven textbook also studies the social location of contemporary horror films, exploring, for example, how Get Out emerged from the context of the Black Lives Matter movement. Finally, in the new section "American Carnage," Poole challenges readers to assess what their own monster tales might be and how our sordid past horrors express themselves in our present cultural anxieties.

By the end of the book, Poole cautions that America's monsters aren't going away anytime soon. If specters of the past still haunt our present, they may yet invade our future. Monsters are here to stay.

Super soft, nice material and you'll want a few of these!
Color: Black, Size: Medium
I’ve been really happy with this ANRABESS ribbed V-neck tank overall. It fits snug, and the material is soft, stretchy, and lightweight, which makes it perfect for warmer weather or layering it. The ribbed texture and V-neck give it a slightly more polished look than a basic tank, so it’s easy to dress up or keep casual with jeans or shorts. I’ve found it to be comfortable for all-day wear, and it holds its shape well after washing. I really like the wider shoulder material which covers my bra strap well. Fit-wise, it runs pretty true to size, although I could see sizing up if someone prefers a less fitted look. One thing to note is that lighter colors may be a bit more sheer depending on what you wear underneath. Overall, it’s a simple, versatile tank that didn't break my bank so it's worth it. In the winter I'll probably wear it under the majority of my shirts. I'm absolutely planning on ordering more colors.

Perfect flattering tank
Color: Hot Pink, Size: Large
These are the best tank tops! No gaping arm holes. The tank gives some coverage on the sides and under the arms so it conceals any problem spots. The back neckline is higher than most tanks so the straps are a perfect flattering length for me. I'm under 5'3 with a short torso so it's rare to find a tank that doesn't require shortening the straps. The V-neck is wide and hits at the perfect spot, not too high to be awkward looking but not so low that I'm flashing people at dinner. The fabric is light- medium weight. Not so sheer that it looks cheap but not thick enough for the white to be opaque. These are well made and hold their shape after washing and drying and come in a ton of colors. I have several and will buy more.

Cut tight, good quality and price.
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Medium
Well made, the material is soft, and comfortable. It’s tight without being clingy. It didn’t shrink when I dried it on medium. The color is as shown and its not see through but is cut tight. So if you have a little extra weight in your stomach area it will not be flattering. Great price and good quality. I’m 5’6, 138lbs, and wear a 36C. I bought a size medium.

Comfortable women’s top, excellent for nursing!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I needed a new breastfeeding friendly tank top as I am postpartum and gained some weight. This is so comfortable and easily accessible for feeds. I wear it around the house and to sleep in. At a fraction of the cost of the more expensive brands nursing tops, this is a great practical, comfortable buy. The material is thick but breathable and not restrictive and non see through. Sizing is spot on. I am 5’4 and 160 lbs and I bought a Large. Overall this is a durable piece that is a staple in my postpartum wardrobe.
