  This history and critique of classic scary films “honors Universal’s horror legacy. . . . an excellent resource for film students and monster movie fanatics” (Library Journal). In 1931 Universal Studios released Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. This box office success was followed by a string of films featuring macabre characters and chilling atmospherics, including Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Invisible Man. With each new film, Universal established its place in the Hollywood firmament as the leading producer of horror films, a status it enjoyed for more than twenty years. In The Monster Movies of Universal Studios, James L. Neibaur examines the key films produced by the studio from the early 1930s through the mid-1950s. In each entry, Neibaur recounts the movie’s production, provides critical commentary, considers the film’s commercial reception, and offers an overall assessment of the movie’s significance. Neibaur also examines the impact these films had on popular culture, an influence that resonates in the cinema of fear today. From the world premiere of Dracula to the 1956 release of The Creature Walks among Us, Universal excelled at scaring viewers of all ages—and even elicited a few chuckles along the way by pitting their iconic creatures against the comedic pair of Abbott and Costello. The Monster Movies of Universal Studios captures the thrills of these films, making this book a treat for fans of the golden age of horror cinema.   “Studio stills and trade ads for several of the films add a suitably scary touch to this treat for fans and scholars alike. ― Booklist “An impressive work of film scholarship.” ― Cinema Retro

  Grief is a journey that often feels like a path of endless twists and turns—unpredictable, raw, and at times, impossibly dark. In Grief Tales, Declan Lockwood takes us through the deeply human experience of loss with a series of twenty powerful stories, each exploring the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. 
  Told from the perspective of a man wrestling with the weight of his own sorrow, these poignant, sometimes painful, and often unexpectedly humorous monologues bring the reader face-to-face with the complexities of grief. With raw honesty and keen insight, Lockwood navigates the delicate balance between the struggle to hold on and the necessity to let go. 
  From the deep silence of unanswered questions to the slow emergence of hope, these stories are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, showing that even in the darkest moments, there is always the potential for healing. Grief Tales is an evocative and thought-provoking exploration of the space between loss and recovery, offering solace and understanding to anyone who has ever loved, lost, and found their way back again.

  We're Falling Through Space -...

  It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
  The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
  In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'
