Hello MOPO, Just wanted to drop an excited note to tell you that my second book is finally out!
SILVER SCREAM: 40 CLASSIC HORROR MOVIES VOLUME TWO 1941-1951 Now Available from Telos Publishing UK ISBN 978-1-84583-029-8 (pb) £12.99 cover price I take a light-hearted yet heavily-researched approach to examining forty horror movie classics, featuring titles such as The Wolf Man, Cat People, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Black Narcissus(!). Each chapter covers one film, with a cast and crew list, plot summary, the best scenes and dialogue, the worst bits, mistakes, a brief on the historical context of the movie, cast and crew biographies (see next paragraph), trivia and behind-the-scenes production information, a critical review by the author and a brief and informal "second opinion" review by one of the contributors. Together, both volumes 1 & 2 include a total of 524 deeply researched and detailed biographies (303 actor biographies - from leading roles to bit parts - and 221 biographies of directors, writers, cinematographers, composers, makeup artists, costume designers, art directors, etc.). Illustrated throughout with stills and poster art, some rarely seen. Hope it interests some of you! For more information (including a list of the movies covered in each volume) visit http://silverscreaminfo.com -Steve PS Of interest to MOPO specifically: I wanted my publisher to include a country-of-origin one-sheet poster for every chapter, but he preferred to keep the page count down. It was one of the disappointments I had with how it came together, but for the most part I'm very happy and very proud of the books.
