Book Presentation:
More than 20 years after it was first broadcast, The X-Files still holds the public imagination. Over nine seasons and two feature films, agents Mulder and Scully pursued monsters, aliens, mutants and shadowy conspirators across the American landscape.
Running for more than 200 episodes, the series transformed television, crafting a postmodern mythology that spoke to the anxieties and uncertainties of the end of the 20th century. Covering the entire series from its debut through the second feature film, this book examines how creator Chris Carter and his team of writers turned a scrappy cult favorite on Fox into a global phenomenon.
About the Author:

Press Reviews:
"An informative and engrossing critical history of the series." - PopMatters
"If The X-Files studies were a college course (and I'm sure it is somewhere), Mooney's book would have to be one of its essential texts." -- Rod Lott, FlickAttack
