A History of Horrors
This revised and updated edition of A History of Horrors traces the life and 'spirit' of Hammer, from its fledgling days in the late 1940s through its successes of the 1950s and '60s to its decline and eventual liquidation in the late 1970s. With the exclusive participation of all of the personnel who were key to Hammer's success, Denis Meikle paints a vivid and fascinating picture of the rise and fall of a film empire, offering new and revealing insights into 'the truth behind the legend.' Much has been written about Hammer's films, but this is the only book to tell the story of the company itself from the perspective of those who ran it in its heyday and who helped to turn it into a universal byword for terror on the screen.
Merchant of Menace
"Merchant of Menace is a long-overdue celebration of this legendary horror star's remarkable life and work. It now catalogues the entirety of Vincent Price's film career with a wealth of fascinating photos and shows why, to genre fans of the 1950s and '60s, it was Price who was the screen's Crown Prince of Terror!"--Wheelers website.
