La Dolce Morte by Mikel Koven was one of the first books to seriously analyse gialli whilst also remaining accessible. An important book that came at an important time and deserves to be held up as one of the seminal texts on Italian genre cinema.

Making Mischief - The Cult Films of Pete Walker by Steve Chibnall was one of the first books to look in depth at the perversely English films of arch reactionary Pete Walker. Walker's films capture and dissect England through a grimy, gruesome low budget exploitation lens.
