David Kerekes is great. He seems to like the films and TV that only me and him like.

[Doug Brunell]

A good portion of this book is dedicated to looking at horror stories/films that aired on the BBC. That in and of itself would have been more than enough of a reason to read this, but the interview with Bill Landis and Michelle Clifford really makes this a necessary read for horror/exploitation film fans.

There is more to this book than just those two things, but if that isn't enough to get you excited, you are kind of beyond redemption.
