Monstrous bodies : feminine power in young adult horror fiction / June Pulliam.

• Introduction -- Subversive spirits: resistance and the uncanny in the young adult ghost story -- Blood and bitches: sexual politics and the female lycanthrope in young adult fiction -- "An ye harm none, do as ye will": magic, gender and agency in young adult narratives of witchcraft -- Conclusion -- Chapter notes -- Bibliography -- Index. 

• "This book examines three types of female monstrous Others in young adult fiction and considers what each has to tell us about feminine subordination in a supposedly post-feminist world, where girls continue to be pressured to silence their voices and stifle their desires in conformity with contemporary ideas about what it means to be a good woman"--
