Anthony Carlton Cooke explores the reciprocal spheres of influence between deinstitutionalization, representations of the \"murderous, mentally ill individual\" in the horror, crime, and thriller genres, and the growth of public associations of violent crime with mental illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Carlton Cooke\u003c\/b\u003e is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Writing and Linguistics at Georgia Southern University, USA.
