COFFINMAKER'S BLUES by Stephen Volk

Collected writings on terror by one of the genres most gifted exponents COFFINMAKER'S BLUES is:

An educational joy to read, this man who knows his stuff, knows how to write & knows how to put together a well-thought-out, intelligent & incendiary article (Ginger Nuts of Horror)
Blisteringly powerful...Volk draws on a dizzying number of references & shows admirable conceptual depth & density as well as a muscular & evocative style (SF Signal)
"Amusingly scathing...Frank, honest yet ultimately hopeful & considered (Dread Central)
An insiders opinion...Volk certainly knows what he is talking about, with a career in the industry that has spanned two decades (Rue Morgue Magazine)
A masterclass for horror writers & screenwriters. Definitely should be shared far & wide (Charles Prepolec, editor, Gaslight Grotesque, Gaslight Gothic, Beyond Rue Morgue)

SIX STOOGES & COUNTING by Ramsey Campbell

When Ramsey Campbell first encountered the Three Stooges, he was only a bemused spectator. Now hes an admirer, & this personal appreciation celebrates the reasons. Few Hollywood comedy teams have endured like the Stooges, either in length of career or in continuing to entertain. One secret of their longevity was how their line-up often changed. Moe & Larry were the constant personnel, supported over the decades by Shemp & Curly & a trinity of Joes, one of them uncredited.

In Six Stooges & Counting Campbell argues that the impermanence of identity is a frequent theme of their films, one aspect of the anarchy they incarnate. Once he believed there was little to their comedy but knockabout, & in this book he demonstrates how wrong he was. Youll learn of their influence on Kubrick & Tarantino, & may it be present in Fassbinders films & Hong Kong action movies as well? Youll find them playing Shakespeare & Greek tragedy, & figuring in Beckett & Bram Stoker. To quote Bridget Fonda: I think that anybody who doesnt like the Three Stooges just never really watched. Ramsey Campbell looked at them afresh & hopes this book will make the reader do that too.
