The Undying Monster - Paperback Ed.
Beware the curse composed in verse! The night is cold and clear and starry. Don't walk in the woods, or you'll be sorry. ESPECIALLY if you happen to be the last heir of the Hammands! The super-sensitive Miss Luna Bartendale, psychic investigator extraordinaire, has had success in the past laying family curses, but the Monster of Hammand will prove harder than any challenge she has faced before. And Dannow Old Manor is home to more than one secret, with a trail that leads from its Hidden Room to the ancient barrow of a Saxon chieftain and back again -- and from a family legacy birthed in the Bronze Age to the Twilight of the Gods!

Classic Horror Films and the Literature That Inspired Them
Classic horror films such as Dracula, Frankenstein and The Picture of Dorian Gray are based on famous novels. Less well known--even to avid horror fans--are the many other memorable films based on literary works. Beginning in the silent era and continuing to the present, numerous horror films found their inspiration in novels, novellas, short stories and poems, though many of these written works are long forgotten. This book examines 43 works of literature--from the famous to the obscure--that provided the basis for 62 horror films. Both the written works and the films are analyzed critically, with an emphasis on the symbiosis between the two. Background on the authors and their writings is provided.
