Acclaimed critic and broadcaster Jonathan Rigby brings his trademark wit and insight to bear on 130 of the key moments in screen horror. His scope is wide, ranging from silent masterworks like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to such 21st century milestones as The Descent and Let the Right One In. In between, he scrutinises the achievements of Universal in the 1930s and Hammer in the 1960s. Lavishly illustrated, the result is a beautifully presented history of international horror cinema that's as entertaining as it is informative.

From the Expressionist reveries of the Weimar Republic to the transgressive nightmares smuggled past the Franco regime, via surrealist Gallic fever-dreams and psychedelic shockers from Cinecittà, Jonathan Rigby brings his incisive scrutiny to bear on more than 100 key films, starting in the aftermath of World War I and winding up with the video revolution of the early 1980s.

English Gothic was the first book to trace horror cinema from the 1890s right through to the end of the 20th century. Now it comes complete with an assessment of the remarkable renaissance enjoyed by British horror in the 21st century.

In the long-awaited American Gothic Jonathan Rigby tells the story of the Hollywood horror lm from its 19th century beginnings through to the arrival of Vincent Price as a horror star in films like House of Wax and The Fly. This 60-year period encompasses the shadowy nightmares of the silent era, the breakthrough hits produced by Universal, Warner Bros and M-G-M in the early days of talkies, the thoughtful RKO chillers of the 1940s, and the post-war boom in lurid science- fiction shockers. Out of print for more than ten years, American Gothic has been extensively revised and expanded, and is now available in hardback for the first time.

For many years, the name Christopher Lee was virtually synonymous with the best in screen horror. His Count Dracula has rarely been equaled, and his performances in classics like The Mummy, The Face of Fu Manchu, and The Wicker Man are just as striking. Lee's film and television appearances, however, outnumber those of any other British star, and his work stretches well beyond the confines of Hammer Horror. Christopher Lee: The Authorized Screen History chronicles the actor's entire career, including his starring role as James Bond's nemesis in The Man With the Golden Gun and appearances in The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars Episode II. Compiled with the cooperation of Christopher Lee, and featuring many previously unseen photos from his private collection, this is the ultimate guide to one of the cinema's last true icons.

English Gothic: A Century Of Horror Cinema (Third Edition)

The epitome of 70s glamour, Roxy Music's sophisticated but danceable, chart-friendly rock gained them a following that far surpassed the glam-rock constituency from which they sprang. The urbane voice and persona of singer Bryan Ferry, and the cutting-edge musicians—including Brian Eno, Eddie Jobson, Phil Manzanera, and Andy McKay—fashioned the band's music into a distinctive blend of pop, torch-ballad Euro-crooning, and avant-garde rock. Both Ends Burning: The Complete Roxy Music is the first book of its kind, with a song-by-song analysis of every album. There's also exhaustive coverage of the band's numerous live performances in all their incarnations, from 1972 to 2003.
