Men Women & Chain Saws is one of the few academic books on 'horror' that actually engages with the pleasures of the genre. I seem to recall her discussion of Spit On Yr Grave vs Accused was pretty good.

Was just about to say the very same thing myself. Men, Women And Chainsaws makes for good reading.
