Anglophone horror films are typically approached as the inevitable by-products of psychological and social demons haunting filmmakers and their homelands - in short, as if they were 'our collective nightmares'. These 'reflectionist' approaches have led horror films routinely and reductively to be framed as mouthpieces for misogynistic sadists lurking in the shadows of the exploitation sector, as defiant expressions of resistance enacted by noble progressives, or as platforms for the politically reactionary evils of the biggest, scariest monster of all: Hollywood. The industry logic, strategies, and practices that heavily determine horror film content, the nature of horror film production, promotion, and dissemination, as well as the responses to these activities, have therefore been either side-stepped completely or reduced unhelpfully to the profit-making motives underwriting all capitalist endeavours. Consequently, even though horror has been a key component of media output for almost a century, the genre's industrial character remains under explored and poorly understood." (EDITOR).

Originally published in 1962, The Merchants of Menace analyzes Mafia activity in the United States. Described as an authoritative effort to explain organized crime, the book draws on author Edward J. Allen’s experiences during the late 1940s and early 1950s whilst serving as the Chief of the Police Department in Youngstown, Ohio—a city at the time corrupted by Mafia influence from nearby Detroit and Buffalo, N.Y.—and his crack-down on gambling, prostitution and gangster ties. With over 30 illustrations.
