Focuses on the terrifying notion of murder committed against one's will in silent cinema and contemporaneous literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book helps readers understand anxieties about the onslaught of visual media and the reach of vast corporations that seem to absorb our own identities.

Trade Review
"Ambitious and wide-ranging, Possessed is a remarkably invigorating interdisciplinary exercise that will be read with profit by individuals in cinema and media studies, comparative literature, and the history of science. It reaches conclusions that are both precisely stated and inordinately suggestive." - Eric Rentschler, Harvard University"
