Since the early 1960s, movie novelizations have become a noticeable part of popular literature and a unique avenue for authors to express on the page what a movie portrayed on screen. In the midst of the tide of movie tie-ins published in America and Britain have been a number of treasures, many far better than the movies that brought them into being. Films into Books provides the first in-depth coverage of this sub-genre. Combining a discussion of what novelizations are (and are not), and how they have become such an icon of popular culture, Larson also includes interviews with more than fifty authors, from Charles N. Heckelmann, author of 1937's Jungle Menace, to Piers Anthony, who novelized 1992's Total Recall.

In the 1950s, Hammer Film Productions, a small British filmmaking company, introduced the world to a new genre of motion picture. Referred to by some as "horror," by others as "fantasy," Hammer films had a unique look and feel that many other studios would later attempt―and fail―to capture. Hammer films also had a unique sound. For although the studio was small and the budgets limited, those involved in making the Hammer films recognized that the musical score was just as important as the set, the actors, and the script in telling the story. Consequently, Hammer Films Productions recruited the best musical talent to make its films come alive. Those artists and the work they did are chronicled here in careful detail by Randall D. Larson. From the studio's fledging days, through its great successes of the 60s and early 70s, Music from the House of Hammer offers an inside look at how the "Hammer sound" was developed and nurtured.

The Complete Robert Bloch is intended to provide the first complete and comprehensive bibliography of all the work of Robert Bloch, including international appearances in print, radio, television and film, both professional and amateur. As such, it has been compiled with the full authorization and cooperation of Robert Bloch himself. Much of the bibliographic information herein was assembled with the kind and patient assistance of Robert Bloch himself, who generously devoted his time to provide updated details, often on a daily basis as final production commenced and who willfully reviewed intermediate versions of the bibliography in order to insure its accuracy and completeness. - from the preface

During a writing career spanning more than fifty years, Robert Bloch has become one of the best-loved figures of science fiction, fantasy, psychological crime and horror fiction, his work being among the most entertaining and enduring efforts in these fields. Yet, taken as a whole - a body of work spanning more than half a century - Bloch's writing can be seen as far more than simple entertainment. He has frequently espoused the opinion that writers must have a point of view if they are to be anything beyond mere reporters. The Robert Bloch Companion compiles more than 25 interviews that Bloch has given over the past twenty years, including several unpublished segments and excerpts from letters. Rather than simply reprint these interviews verbatim, one after the other, each individual interview has been edited to eliminate repetition and combined into what I hope is a cohesive whole, organized somewhat chronologically and by subject. To my knowledge, this is the first ever compilation of anyone's Collected Interviews to be integrated in this fashion, and it is my hope that it will serve as an informative and illuminating autobiographical look at Robert Bloch, the author and the man. It was my intention that The Robert Bloch Companion join with my literary analysis, The Reader's Guide To Robert Bloch (Starmont, 1985) and my illustrated bibliography, The Complete Robert Bloch (Fandom Unltd, 1986) to form an important trilogy of reference materials on this author from three fundamental viewpoints: that of the reader, that of his published work and, now, that of his own words. - from the preface by Randall D.

A Philip J. Riley's NightMare Series volume. Commentary and "About the Author" Henry Slesar by Randall D. Larson - edited by Philip J. Riley The clouds of yellow dust rolled and swirled and whistled in agonized motion, and their sound obscured the needle-thin cries of men in anguish. The pain had come upon them suddenly, pain that gripped their chests like the giant talons of some rapacious bird, pain that sent them scurrying, reeling, stumbling towards the silvery object that stood half-buried in the volatile sands. Some were to make the ship in time; others were to die later. One was to live to see the horror of the dust-shrouded planet transplanted to the world of his birth, twenty million miles away. The Ymir, as the creature was named by Forrest J Ackerman is one of Ray Harryhausen's best remembered stop motion creations. Originally published as an Amazing Stories special edition.
