Condition: Collectible, Very Good. Brian De Palma's 1976 adaptation of best-selling author Stephen King's first published novel Carrie didn't just put him on the map as one of the leading directors of the seventies, but became a landmark of the horror genre and one of the most iconic films of The New Hollywood. Over the years it's been the subject of praise, admiration, imitation, parody, derision and polemical controversy, viewed simultaneously as a sick joke, a social satire, and a put down to women. Joseph Aisenberg's monumental study takes on the movie from every possible angle, from its first inception as a novel to its final… Read More

Hornsea, East Yorkshire: PS Publishing, 2021. Slip-cased edition, signed, limited to 200 copies. Hardcover in slipcase. NEW, in shrink-wrap. PS Publishing, UK, July 2021. Slipcased Hardcover COLLECTION of ESSAYS limited to 200 signed and numbered copies. ABOUT THE BOOK Ramsey Campbell, Certainly collects the crop of the author's columns and essays from the last twenty years. Censorship is confronted, whether in Charles Platt's notorious novel or a disciplinary memoir. Standards of horror are upheld, and the uncanny is acclaimed. Fun is had with uproarious films, and the mating of comedy and horror is celebrated. A novel favoured by discussion groups is skewered, and a supposed satire of horror is satirised. M. R. James is defended against accusations of plagiarism, and the importance of his style is demonstrated. Lovecraft's prose is appreciated at length, as are several of his greatest tales. Other builders of the great tradition are discussed - Machen, Blackwood, Hodgson - and inspired toilers in… Read More
