Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Fanatic's Guide to the Modern Horror Film, 1960-Present is a work of creative non-fiction designed to provide the reader with the information of a textbook and the entertainment value of a creative piece. The body of the text features an A-Z guide of capsule reviews covering over thousand films, complete with technical credits, including director, writer, cast, MPAA rating, year of release, running time, and a personal star rating. Also included are a variety of lists, themed essays, and mini-biographies of directors that I consider to be underrated. My hope is that this thesis is informative and entertaining, scholarly but not stuffy, and versatile enough to appeal to both newcomers and long-time genre fans, with a layout that allows readers to open to any page they chose and begin reading successfully without having any prior knowledge of what has come before in the text."--Abstract.
