Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk! Welcome ... to Horrors!

This comprehensive genre-focused eerie ebook edition gathers the complete horror, crime, and cult film reviews from the four S.R. Bissette's Blur print volumes collecting the complete weekly "Video Views" columns (1999-2001) by veteran cartoonist, author, and film scholar Stephen R. Bissette. Renowned for raising hackles with his work as an artist, writer, publisher and writer (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant, Deep Red, Video Watchdog, The Monster Book: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman, Teen Angels & New Mutants, etc.), Bissette is your horror host, bringing his unflinching industry-insider pop-culture coroner skills to his autopsies of the turn-of-the-century's weirdest, wildest movies.

Bissette provides an expansive overview of every aspect of the creation of a graphic novel (in this case, Rick Veitch's seminal "Brat Pack," 1990-1991), including its pop cultural roots, context, and wake; the personal and professional life of its creator; and the behind-the-scenes creative and business decisions that culminated in the publication of the completed serialized original.

The fourth volume collecting the complete weekly "Video Views" columns (1999-2001) by Stephen R. Bissette covers May to October 2001, and miscellaneous video & DVD-related articles from this period -- plus an index for the entire four volume set, making this highly-entertaining read into an essential research tool.

An official guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer describes the mythology and influences behind the monsters, ghouls, and characters through interviews with the creators and details of the episodes.
