Poplit, Popcult and the X-Files: A Critical Explanation
by Jan Delasare

Edition: 255 pages, Library Binding (March 2000), McFarland & Company
ISBN: 0786407891
Dimensions (in inches): 0.66 x 9.77 x 6.80
Synopsis: For six acclaimed seasons, FBI paranormal detectives Mulder and Scully have been chasing monsters and little green men and exposing government conspiracies, while espousing the mantras "trust no one" and "the truth is out there". This work takes a close look at the popular television series and shows how its style, character and narrative structure have continued to tease and please a wide viewing audience every week for six years. The first section examines the text of the series and the progression of its mythic story arc. This part also looks at the show's use of expressionistic techniques in both its visual and sound effects; the related tropes of self-reflexive humor, irony and the grotesque; and its ability to give the audience an occasional strong sensory jolt. The second section explores the context that has given rise to The X-Files phenomenon in the 1990s. The show's gothic horror tradition is established, and its contribution to the Zeitgeist of the 90s is also acknowledged.

The Art of the X-Files
by William Gibson (Introduction), Chris Carter

[Cover of The Art of the X-Files] Edition: Hardcover - 156 pages (October 1998), Harper Prism
ISBN: 0061050377
Dimensions (in inches): 1.11 x 8.86 x 11.45
Synopsis: Reflecting our world in a uniquely haunting way, The X-Files has engendered a new look of mystery, conspiracy, phenomenon, and fear. These enigmatic, elusive images have had a profound and compelling impact on our visual reality, both feeding into and drawing from mainstream America's fascination with the subversive, the disowned, and the disillusioned. This innovative volume, a visual response to Chris Carter's dark, uneasy creation, collects the works of more than sixty cutting-edge artists.
Representing a cross section of contemporary visual arts, these photographers, painters, sculptors, graphic designers, and digital media artists have produced works that reflect their personal interpretation of The X-Files: as a cultural phenomenon, as a new chapter in television history, as an engrossing cosmic conspiracy. Many pieces are accompanied by a statement from the artist, explaining the inspiration behind his or her contribution ranging from an episode to a line of dialog, form a particular incident to a theme within the entire series. Illlustrated with video stills form the episodes, this volume shows the strong influence of The X-Files imagery on the artistic mind.
In this introduction to this powerful collection of images, acclaimed writer William Gibson noted that The X-Files "is a disturbing and viscerally satisfying expression of where we've come from, where we are today, and all those places we simultaneously yearn and dread to go." Starling, beautiful, and thought-provoking, this unusual volume expands the creative vision of The X-Files, and of contemporary art itself.
Featuring 75 paintings, photos, and sculptures by today's leading artists, this innovative and beautifully designed art book plays tribute to the uniquely dark, edgy vision of "The X-Files". Ranging from dark, disturbing works to sly, witty pieces, the collection is as diverse, absorbing, and cutting-edge as the series itself. Full color.

The X-Files: Fight the Future
by Elizabeth Hand, Chris Carter

[Cover of The X-Files: Fight the Future] Edition: Hardcover - 256 pages (June 19, 1998), Harper Prism
ISBN: 0061050679
Dimensions (in inches): 0.75 x 9.55 x 6.37
Synopsis: Written in perfectly deadpan, Mulderish style, Chris Carter's X-Files: Fight the Future movie novelization (adapted by noted SF author Elizabeth Hand) is a faithful reproduction of the film, with the addition of a couple of cutting-room-floor sequences to make it worth an X-phile's while. X-Files neophytes will probably be confused by the appearance of unexplained characters and in-jokes, but the story is like a really good episode of the show, and if you can be hooked, you will be. A few purely visual things don't translate well in the novelization. For instance, dialog between the Cigarette-Smoking Man and the Well-Manicured Man, both referred to by their complete "titles" throughout, becomes an exercise in ridiculousness. But that could hardly have been helped, and otherwise the book accurately adapts the action and fast pace of the movie. A nice color-photo spread completes the package.

The Making of the X-Files Feature Film
by Jody Duncan

[Cover of The Making of the X-Files Feature Film] Edition: Paperback - 160 pages 61 edition (June 19, 1998), Harper Prism
ISBN: 0061073113
Dimensions (in inches): 0.30 x 10.91 x 8.49
Synopsis: The Making of the X-Files: Fight the Future brings the reader onto the set and into the studios. If you are not familiar with the intricacies of producing a film, prepare to be boggled by the hectic schedule required to make Fight the Future possible. Combining a past-tense narrative on the various stages of production, with first-person, present-tense journal entries for anecdotal flavor, Duncan offers a dual perspective on the evolution of the movie. Her narrative is punctuated with stills from the film, and behind-the-scenes photographs. The movie's concept illustrations also adorn the pages, and make for interesting backgrounds to the text and photos. Die-hard X-philes will get their dose of trivia, with interesting facts on everything from secrecy protocols to set construction to bee wrangling. While some "making of" books are little more than marketing tie-ins with big movies, Duncan actually tells the story of Fight the Future's "life," from conception to completion, creating a "making of" book with both substance and style.

The Real Science Behind the X Files: Microbes, Meteorites, and Mutants
by Anne Elizabeth Simon

[Cover of The Real Science Behind the X Files: Microbes, Meteorites, and Mutants] Edition: Hardcover - 256 pages (October 1999), Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 0684856174
Dimensions (in inches): 1.25 x 9.58 x 6.43
Synopsis: In The X-Files episode "The Erlenmeyer Flask," FBI agent Dana Scully shows some bacteria to microbiologist Anne Carpenter, who pronounces them extraterrestrial: containing different DNA nucleotides than those found in Earthly organisms. But like the hapless redshirts of Star Trek, scientists who uncover extraterrestrial evidence have shortened life expectancies. Indeed, Carpenter is soon snuffed out in a highly suspicious car crash. But the real scientist on whom she was based, University of Massachusetts virologist Anne Simon, remained as scientific advisor to the popular program: she is the "X-Pert".
In her book, Simon describes the scientific basis of various X-Files episodes, and writes about some of her behind-the-scenes work putting the Scully into Scully. Sometimes it gets a little difficult to keep track of when Simon is describing an episode and when she's talking about cutting-edge science, but that's part of her point: "The life of a research scientist is filled with mysteries as complex as any that appear on The X-Files. We are Scullys." Simon knows that this show, for all its paranormal apparatus, gives a taste of the thrill of real science, enough to be inspiring a new generation to follow in Scully's footsteps.

X-Files: The Game

[Cover of X-Files: The Game] Media: CD-ROM (7x)
Platform: Macintosh, Windows 95, Windows 98
ESRB Rating: Teen
Description: Fox Interactive successfully transforms the popular science-fiction television series The X-Files into an exciting, but not entirely flawless, multimedia adventure game. Spanning a massive seven CDs, The X-Files Game places you in the role of FBI agent Craig Willmore, assigned to investigate the disappearance of special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Over the course of the investigation, you'll interact with other X-Files characters, such as Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and "X" (Steven Williams); use a wide range of FBI gadgetry; and unravel many challenging puzzles.
Graphically, The X-Files Game is fantastic. All events are presented in crisp, colorful, television-like full-motion video that looks incredible on any Microsoft Windows 95/98 compatible video card. Sound and music are also topnotch; the show's familiar theme song resonates throughout the adventure. Both adventure-genre novices and experts should feel at ease with the intuitive mouse-driven interface and the puzzles, which never exceed medium difficulty. The X-Files Game's biggest downer is the lack of the television show's principle characters, Mulder and Scully, who, after the cryptic introduction, don't make an appearance until the very end stages of the story. Still, if you're an X-Files fan who can't get enough alien conspiracy theories, you'll likely enjoy this interactive episode.
