Mikels Expose is so-so

FILM ALCHEMY: THE INDEPENDENT CINEMA OF TED V. MIKELS by Christopher Wayne Curry (2008 McFarland & Co., Inc. publishers / 212 pp / hc)
If you're a fan of the horrible cinema of Ted V. Mikels, there's only a few things here you probably haven't heard before. Not a bad read, unless you're unfamiliar (and interested) in Mikels' work. For low budget film makers, there's plenty of discussion on how Mikels was able to finance his films, and how he's still struggling to do so today.
McFarland has done a nice job with this large hardcover, and there's some good pics inside. But compared to Curry's Herschell Gordon Lewis book, A TASTE OF BLOOD, this isn't all too great (which is kind of fitting when you think about the quality of Mikels films!).
For hardcore b-movie junkies only!
