Author Description

We lost most of our cinema heroes years ago … horror icons like Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. When we view one of their films on a dark and stormy night, it feels like we are visiting old friends. They transport us to lands long forgotten, dark worlds of a macabre age. Vampires and men brought back from the dead. Films like Frankenstein (1931) and Dracula (1931) have continued to frighten and stir our imaginations for nearly a century now … the films we love have inspired and brought us so much joy. This book features new historical fiction based on classic horror by some of the best scholars and writers of films of the golden age. Authors like Gregory William Mank (Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff: The Expanded Story of a Haunting Collaboration) and Frank J. Dello Stritto (Vampire Over London: Bela Lugosi in Britain) headline a group of writers who deliver old-fashioned classic horror fun! Other contributors include Brad A. Braddock (Memoirs of Murder, a prequel to the 1932 film classic White Zombie), Christopher R. Gauthier (Dracula Never Dies), Danielle DeVor (Sorrow's Point: The Marker Chronicles), Dwight Kemper (Who Framed Boris Karloff), Kurt McCoy (White Things), horror hosts Robert "Drac" Kokai and Stefanie "Carita Drac" Kokai, and more! Grab the book and get ready to be transported to a world of olden castles, darkly lit rooms, and the spirit of a bygone age.
