Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised and expanded sequel to Michael H. Price and George E. Turner's groundbreaking "Forgotten Horrors: The Original Volume--Except More So" covers the development of the independent movie studios' approach to horror, weird mystery, and science fiction during a period of banishment for the genre by the British and European boards of censorship. "The notorious Horror Ban of the late 1930s accounted for some dark days in Hollywood," says lead author Mike Price. "The British Board of Censors had been trying its level best since the late silent-era years to keep the creepier fare out of England, but the group had concentrated on individual titles, such as 1932's Island of Lost Souls and Freaks, until a coalition developed with the European censors. The foreign market was lucrative enough for the Hollywood studios that this embargo had some teeth. Strange that the censors neglected to notice the moral lessons implicit in classic horror fiction, usually in a warning about 'tampering with things man was meant to leave alone.' "The ban lasted from 1936-1937 until well into 1939, when the genre enthusiasts had become sufficiently fed up to make a major hit out of the simple reissue of 1931's Dracula and Frankenstein as a double feature," adds Price. "Universal Pictures challenged the ban by reuniting Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi for the entirely new 'Son of Frankenstein' in 1939, and the ban found itself broken." 'Forgotten Horrors Vol. 2: Beyond the Horror Ban' offers an in-depth study of how the prolific smaller studios made it through the ban and rallied in its wake. The new edition covers a stretch from 1938 through 1942, dovetailing with the recently published 'Forgotten Horrors: The Original Volume-Except More So.' New light is directed onto Lugosi's 10 starring features for the tiny studios of PRC Pictures and Monogram Pictures, Karloff's series of 'Mr. Wong' detective adventures, and an unusual series teaming Mantan Moreland and Frankie Darro as an integrated team of amateur detectives. Chapters new to this edition cover the haunted-house comedy 'Comes Midnight, ' the African expeditionary picture 'Dark Rapture, ' and a lowbrow wartime comedy, 'Hillbilly Blitzkrieg, ' that contains a surprising foreshadowing of Stanley Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove' (1964). A key chapter, "Beyond the Horror Ban," relates the little-known tale of how one theatre in Beverly Hills provoked Universal Pictures to challenge the censors. The book also shows how subversive elements of terror and creepy mystery insinuated themselves into otherwise conventional films during the span of the ban. Vol. 2 also unearths neglected items from the fabled Tyler, Texas, Black Film Collection at Southern Methodist University-Price was among the original discoverers of that trove of historic motion pictures-and resurrects forgotten performances by such celebrated figures of Old Hollywood as Peter Lorre, Dorothy Dandridge, and Franklyn Pangborn. The survey cuts across many distinct genres, from Westerns to comedies to crime thrillers and disaster pictures, all compiled from primary-source research and exclusive interviews. The Foreword is by Josh Alan Friedman, the author of such books as "Tell the Truth until They Bleed," and (with illustrator Drew Friedman) "Any Similarity to Persons Living or Dead Is Purely Coincidental." The Forgotten Horrors books, which originated in 1980, have been designated as Standard Desk References by the American Film Institute. Five volumes have been completed, with revisions and expansions in place on the first two books, refinements in progress on Vol. 3 and Vol. 4, and additional volumes in preparation. Price and the late George E. Turner originated the series as an offshoot of their research on behalf of the American Film Institute. Price and Turner also are responsible for such books as "The Making of King Kong (Spawn of Skull Island)" (1975-2002) and "The Cinema of Adventure, Romance & Terror" (1989).

Book excerpt: A massive collection of never-before-collected pre-Comics Code horror comics of the 1950s. Of the myriad genres comic books ventured into during its golden age, none was as controversial as or came at a greater cost than horror; the public outrage it incited almost destroyed the entire industry. Yet before the watchdog groups and Congress could intercede, horror books were flying off the newsstands. During its peak period (1951–54) over fifty titles appeared each month. Apparently there was something perversely irresistible about these graphic excursions into our dark side, and Four Color Fear collects the finest of these into a single robust volume.

Combining the cosmic horrors of HP Lovecraft with the grimy sensibilities of the Video Nasties, The Forgotten Island is an outrageous old-school horror novel packed with mayhem and violence. Praise for The Forgotten Island "Lots of sex, violence, gore and laughs - this one is sure to be a hit with classic and modern fans alike!" Sadie Hartmann, Scream Horror Magazine "This book read like a blood-drenched love letter to Lovecraft, and didn't hold back on the splatter factor. But what impressed me more was Sodergren's masterful control of dread[...]this book is handled with impressive authority and confidence." James Fahy, author of The Changeling series "Nothing is going to prepare you for the mayhem Sodergren throws at you once he shows his cards. A novel packed with with old movie references, gore, violence, humour, wit and originality." Gavin Kendall, Kendall Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication in 1980 of "Forgotten Horrors: Early Talkie Chillers from Poverty Row" launched a new direction in film scholarship by subjecting the weirder movies of Old Hollywood's low-rent district to the scholarly and critical attention customarily reserved for acknowledged classics from the big studios. Authors George E. Turner and Michael H. Price staked out a distinctive territory while rediscovering little-seen favorites and identifying early work from important stars-to-be and emerging major directors. "We intended the title, 'Forgotten Horrors, ' to be a challenge-a self-denying prophecy," says Mike Price in announcing a new edition, revised and expanded. "With very few exceptions, such as 'White Zombie' and 'The Vampire Bat, ' these Depression-era pictures had been popularly forgotten through neglect, careless archiving, and inconsistent copyright maintenance. We sought to make them less 'forgotten.' "George and I covered more than 100 such films from 1929-1937 in the original edition, and within a few years of its publication many of these pictures started cropping up on the home-video market," adds Price. "One large-scale video dealer went so far as to publish a catalogue called 'Forgotten Horrors.' Mission accomplished." The new edition, Forgotten Horrors: The Original Volume-Except More So, features many new chapters and an introduction by Mel Brooks-the filmmaker responsible for such horror pictures as "Young Frankenstein" and David Cronenberg's "The Fly." The expansion will serve both to unearth additional rarities and to restore much of the original manuscript. At the behest of the original publisher, the Tantivy Press of London, the authors had removed many chapters for the sake of brevity-including coverage of such significant independent films as Sam Goldwyn's "Bulldog Drummond" and Harold Lloyd's creepy comedy "Welcome Danger," both from 1929. These and others have been restored to the text, along with many photographs and advertising images previously unpublished. A key new discovery is a lost film by acclaimed director Edgar G. Ulmer, "The Warning Shadow"-made shortly before Ulmer's big-time breakthrough with the Boris Karloff-Bela Lugosi starrer "The Black Cat" (1934). While "The Warning Shadow" remains a missing film, Price has traced its surviving footage to an unlikely location and reports accordingly on the find. More than 50 new chapters complete the package, ranging from weird Westerns to ghostly crime melodramas and offbeat comedies. The book's 370 pages cover the rise of such iconic stars as Boris Karloff, Ginger Rogers, and Gene Autry; the decline of many silent-era talents who stuck around through the arrival of talking pictures in the late 1920s; and significant relationships between such major studios as Columbia and Universal and low-budget companies including Tiffany, Majestic, Victory, and Monogram. Michael H. Price and the late George Turner, longtime editor of "American Cinematographer" magazine, also are responsible for such books as "The Making of King Kong" ("Spawn of Skull Island") (1975-2002); "Forgotten Horrors Vol. 2" (2001); and "The Cinema of Adventure, Romance & Terror" (1989). Price also has delivered Vols. 3-5 of the "Forgotten Horrors" series in collaboration with genre historians John Wooley and Jan Alan Henderson. A collection of Price's film reviews for the New York Times News Service (1985-1998) is in preparation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1940s is a lost decade in horror cinema, undervalued and written out of most horror scholarship. This collection revises, reframes, and deconstructs persistent critical binaries that have been put in place by scholarly discourse to label 1940s horror as somehow inferior to a “classical” period or “canonical” mode of horror in the 1930s, especially as represented by the monster films of Universal Studios. The book's four sections re-evaluate the historical, political, economic, and cultural factors informing 1940s horror cinema to introduce new theoretical frameworks and to open up space for scholarly discussion of 1940s horror genre hybridity, periodization, and aesthetics. Chapters focused on Gothic and Grand Guignol traditions operating in forties horror cinema, 1940s proto-slasher films, the independent horrors of the Poverty Row studios, and critical reevaluations of neglected hybrid films such as The Vampire’s Ghost (1945) and “slippery” auteurs such as Robert Siodmak and Sam Neufield, work to recover a decade of horror that has been framed as having fallen victim to repetition, exhaustion, and decline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Lost Queen, hailed as “Outlander meets Camelot” (Kirsty Logan, the author of The Gloaming) and “The Mists of Avalon for a new generation” (Linnea Hartsuyker, the author of The Golden Wolf), a “rich, immersive” (Kirkus Reviews) new novel in which a forgotten queen of 6th-century Scotland claims her throne as war looms and her family is scattered to the winds. AD 573. Imprisoned in her chamber, Languoreth awaits news in torment. Her husband and son have ridden off to war against her brother, Lailoken. She doesn’t yet know that her young daughter, Angharad, who was training with Lailoken to become a Wisdom Keeper, has been lost in the chaos. As one of the bloodiest battles of early medieval Scottish history abandons its survivors to the wilds of Scotland, Lailoken and his men must flee to exile in the mountains of the Lowlands, while nine-year-old Angharad must summon all Lailoken has taught her to follow her own destiny through the mysterious, mystical land of the Picts. In the aftermath of the battle, old political alliances unravel, opening the way for the ambitious adherents of the new religion: Christianity. Lailoken is half-mad with battle sickness, and Languoreth must hide her allegiance to the Old Way to survive her marriage to the next Christian king of Strathclyde. Worst yet, the new King of the Angles is bent on expanding his kingdom at any cost. Now the exiled Lailoken, with the help of a young warrior named Artur, may be the only man who can bring the warring groups together to defeat the encroaching Angles. But to do so, he must claim the role that will forever transform him. He must become the man known to history as “Myrddin.” “Intrigue, rivalry, and magic among the mists of old Britain—The Forgotten Kingdom is an enchantment of a read” (Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network).

Download or read book Gothic Horror 2 written by William Hope Hodgson and published by Essential Library. This book was released on 2001-02 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gothic Horror 2 concludes William Hope Hodgson’s Trilogy with “The Ghost Pirates.” The first two books, "The Boats of the Glen Carrig" and "The House on the Borderland” were published in Gothic Horror 1. Though very different in scope, each of the three books deals with certain conceptions that have an elemental kinship. The unifying theme seems to be the dreadful forces that lurk just beneath the veneer of what we, in immense folly, believe to be "reality". Malign forces may surface at any moment to drag us to destruction or worse. “The Ghost Pirates” tells the captivating tale of the ship "Mortzestus", an unlucky vessel haunted by "too many shadows". The palpable sense of creeping fear grows into climactic scenes, each one leaving the reader wondering how anyone will survive. This novel has been called ‘totally engrossing’, ‘a cross between an old-fashioned sea story and the cosmic horrors of H.P. Lovecraft.’ As an added bonus, Gothic Horror 2 also includes the chilling account of “Carnacki The Ghost Finder.” Hodgson’s stories blend horror, fantasy, and science fiction. As a beautifully written work of pure imagination, his work has few equals, and has been compared to the writings of Poe, Machen, and Blackwood. Enjoy a wild ride into the supernatural!

Stine, author of Goosebumps "Do you know what it feels like to be forgotten?"On a cold winter night, Iris and her best friend, Daniel, sneak into a clearing in the woods to play in the freshly fallen snow. There, Iris carefully makes a perfect snow angel -- only to find the crumbling gravestone of a young girl, Avery Moore, right beneath her.Immediately, strange things start to happen to Iris: She begins having vivid nightmares.

They discover that Avery's grave is actually part of a neglected and forgotten Black cemetery, dating back to a time when White and Black people were kept separate in life -- and in death. As Iris and Daniel learn more about their town's past, they become determined to restore Avery's grave and finally have proper respect paid to Avery and the others buried there.But they have awakened a jealous and demanding ghost, one that's not satisfied with their plans for getting recognition.

Former librarian Claire and Brevity the muse feel the loss of those stories, and are trying to adjust to their new roles within the Arcane Wing and Library, respectively. But when the remains of those books begin to leak a strange ink, Claire realizes that the Library has kept secrets from Hell--and from its own librarians.

When a representative from the Muses Corps arrives at the Library to advise Brevity, the angel Rami and the erstwhile Hero hunt for answers in other realms. The true nature of the ink could fundamentally alter the afterlife for good or ill, but it entirely depends on who is left to hold the pen.
