A compilation of the spine-chilling artwork of Les Edwards, master of Gothic horror.

One of a series of novels set in a nightmare USA of the near future; an anarchic, cybergoth world devastated by climatic catastrophe and populated by gang-cults and policed zones. Society is marked by a resurgence of tribalism, and even the laws of nature are on the brink of collapse.

In 1968, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby brought a new slant to the horror film, bringing zombies and witchcraft into a contemporary setting, and much closer to home than the cardboard Transylvanias of earlier films. This work is a critical overview of the horror movie genre from the late 1960s with a discussion of over 2000 films - masterpiece and monstrosity alike.

Novelist and critic Kim Newman assesses the horror noir Cat People (1943), produced by Val Lewton and directed by Jacques Tourneur. This important and influential film is considered in the light of its place in film history and as a work of ambitious horror. The new edition includes a postscript about the sequel, The Curse of the Cat People.
