Press Reviews:
Responding ably to the contemporary taste for teen drama and for horror, Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Hell’s Under New Management offers a timely and absorbing examination of the spellbinding Netflix show. With essays on gender, feminism and identity, as well as on genre tropes and portrayals of witchcraft, this collection makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the important relationship between popular culture and real-world experience.
-- Rebecca Janicker, University of Portsmouth
Cultural productions have long represented a society’s conception of the witch. Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Hell’s Under New Management is a superb examination of the program’s contribution to capturing the evolved, 21st Century witch. With essays focusing closely on issues of feminism, identity, and gender, the collection stands as an extensive study of the contemporary witch in popular culture and, by extension, an outstanding examination of the contemporary society for which it is produced. The final section uncovers the formal complexities that allow Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to be both meaningful and highly watchable. This highly-accessible collection is essential reading for fans of the show and television scholars alike.
-- Cynthia Burkhead, retired professor, University of North Alabama
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina dances between dark and light, and this book is a good dance partner. Placing the series in the larger context of teen drama and horror, these essays celebrate the strengths and assess the drawbacks of CAoS. The writers explore aspects of gender, race, queerness, feminism, and aesthetics with careful attention to relevant scholarship. This volume adds significantly to television studies.
-- Rhonda V. Wilcox, professor emeritus, Gordon State College and author of Grimm’s Trailer Full of Secrets: Character and Gender in the Television Series
