Devils Advocates books in order

Reading order

The Devils Advocates series gives horror and cult films the kind of serious critical attention usually reserved for prestige cinema. Each slim volume focuses on one film, offering production background, scene-by-scene analysis, and discussion of the movie’s reception and influence. The series covers a wide range of horror, from early silent films to twenty-first century entries.

With forty-one volumes published over thirteen years, the series has built up a substantial library of horror film criticism. Titles range from studies of well-known classics to examinations of lesser-known cult favorites. The format keeps each book tightly focused, allowing authors to go deep on a single film rather than skimming across an entire subgenre or director’s career.
