by David Southwell If the stories were not true, no one would believe that these 1,001 people managed to die in such utterly stupid yet highly amusing ways - but they did! From the woman who drunk herself to death with water trying to win a contest that required her to hold in her wee longer than the other contestants to the convicted killer who turned his toilet into a homemade electric chair by frying himself while sitting on it and fixing a television set at the same time, Death by Stupidity presents hundreds of newly-collected accounts of what might kindly be described as actions lacking foresight or less-kindly described as really idiotic ways to meet one's maker.

by Steven Warren Hill From somnambulist kidnappers stalking the streets of an expressionist nightmare to an ambulatory alien vegetable terrorising the crew of a futuristic spaceship, fantasy and horror film has explored every facet of human - and not-so-human - nature. From the earliest days of cinema, visions of blood-thirsty vampires, musty mummies, fanged wolf men, invisible men, insane phantoms and bolt-necked patchwork monstrosities have stalked, stomped, crept and lurched their way across popular consciousness. We explore the development of 80 key films, with detailed analysis and biographies of all those involved in their creation from the writers and directors through the composers, cast and technical crew. Revisit the days when the names of Lugosi, Karloff, Lorre, and Chaney ruled the cinemas, and when the myths and legends of iconic monsters were created and developed. Come with us back to the time of the Silver Scream! (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

by Michael Ochs Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs, they address such issues as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. For music fans the covers are the expression of a period, of a particular time in their lives. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for - Andy Warhol's covers, for example, including the banana he designed for The Velvet Underground. This special edition of 1000 Record Covers presents a selection of the best 60's to 90's rock album covers from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and ex-record publicity executive Michael Ochs's enormous private collection. Both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art, this is a sweeping look at an under-appreciated art form. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

by Mick Farren & Suzy Shaw BOMP! is the definitive survey of the wildly innovative magazine of rock & roll commentary and criticism that was published from 1966-1978. Before Spin and Rolling Stone, there was BOMP! From psychedelia to punk, BOMP! was the music magazine for serious rock & roll aficionados. Bomp's founder Greg Shaw was neither a singer nor guitar player, but still became a legend in rock & roll. From psychedelic garage bands to early insurgent punk rock, BOMP! provided a view-from-the-garage of the most crucial era in rock hisotry. Rare gems are featured here, many reproduced as facsimile pages, like early interviews with The Doors and The Grateful Dead, to the first writing about The New York Dolls and The Sex Pistols.

by Adam Parfey Man's Exploits, Rage, Escape to Adventure - these were a few of the 35-cent magazines that helped veterans confront the confusion of jobs, girls and the Cold War after coming home from World War II.

Contributions from Bruce Jay Friedman, Josh Alan Friedman, and David Saunders help bring us inside the offices, showing us how the writers, illustrators, editors, and publishers put together two decades of 'armpit slicks.' Original art from the notorious Mort Kunstler, Norman Saunders and Norm Eastman are featured within, and Bill Devine's annotated checklist of the many thousands of adventure magazines is essential for collectors of the genre.

by Malcolm Venville Lucha Libre is the passionate and culturally vibrant sport of Mexican wrestling. The name literally translates as 'free fighting' and dates back from the 1930's, developing since then into a serious, yet theatrical sport whose players are known as 'Luchadores.' The larger than life persona of each Luchadore is a combination of athleticism, theatrics, passion, and personality. British photographer Malcolm Venville highlights both the graphic quality of the Luchadore's stage persona and costumes, as well as the underlying humanity of the individual wrestler. Beautifully printed and accompanied by quotes from each Luchadore, these bold portraits result in a visually stunning record of some of its most important participants.
