I'm pretty excited to announce that my ebook, All Godless Here is coming out in about two weeks. It is series of detailed reviews of my personal top 20 horror movies from 1930-1939. Although there were some great horror movies beforehand, I consider this to be the "golden age" of horror.
I've been working really hard on this eBook for about two months - if you call watching 2-3 horror movies a night and writing for an hour or so after that "hard work."
It's in the final stages, I'm laying it out, editing it, and getting the art finalized right now.
The art, of which you can see some on the pictures above and below, is by webcomics artist Gino Vasconcelos, who created Apple and Kiwi and I believe will be accepting additional commissions very shortly.
The book covers horror movies from England, America, and Germany from 1930-1939. I don't think my choices are going to be very controversial. I picked a combination of the Weirdest (like The Black Cat), the best (like M), and the most important (like King Kong).
The full list of films I'm reviewing for the book is available here. I'm going to use that site, goldenagehorror.com to write a little about what it was like to watch 50 horror movies over the course of 45 days or so. I think I have a pretty good grasp on the subject at this point.
The introductory essay is available for free here. It is essentially an abridged history of the golden age of horror, starting with the Gothic mess that is Dracula, up through the increasingly conventional films that came after the Hays Code (Son of Frankenstein). The book will also include brief essays on the major figures of thirties horror.
If you're interested, you can signup to be notified when the book comes out (October 1st). I'll also post about it here for sure, but I know some people prefer to get e-mails about stuff like that (I kind of do). Thanks!
Once I get this book out, I want to get back to writing about what's really important - Cthulhu themed tabletop gaming.
