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.

Not good
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
These were mushy, very small and salty. I was expecting nice crisp large olives that I love. It is packed in olive oil. Shark tank said they were nice and dry (easily to eat). They are not. Disappointed.

Yummy and convenient
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
The perfect car food. Tides me over nicely until I can get home or to the grocery store. Good quality. No questionable ingredients. Just really high-quality Kalamata olives in a convenient small pack! Will buy again!

They’re all good!
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 5)
The original is classic! Simple ingredients, clean taste, medium thickness to the slices, not too dry, great coriander taste. Only 6 ingredients. Love it. The peri-peri has a nice slow burn Lemon pepper has subtle flavors and flirts with perfection. Minimalist biltong - just beef, salt, vinegar. A little salty (not too much). Really nice but, as expected, lacks depth. Similar to the original, with addition of rosemary and garlic. Yum! The garlic adds lots of umami to an already umami-rich snack.

Biltong > Jerky! Delicious!!
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 5)
I've been doing the low carb/keto "thing" for 2+ years. Sometimes you get tired of eating so much protein. However, my friend told me to try this Biltong and I AM GLAD I DID. It's so moist and the flavor profiles are so deep. Most jerky I find in stores tries to drown the flavor of the meat in sugar or soy sauce, but in this Biltong MEAT IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW. My favorite flavor so far has been the Peri Peri. When I read the bag it said it might be spicy but the spice really sneaks up on you. Needless to say the whole bag "mysteriously" disappeared 30 minutes later. All in all, if you like jerky but want high quality meat that isn't just a sugar delivery device I highly recommend this product!

Solid jerky
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 5)
These have a great flavor! I love the thin slices and the simple ingredient list. Some of the pieces were a bit too grizzly for me though and hurts the overall taste consistency for me as I don’t like the taste of those fattier pieces. Overall I would buy again.
