Shadow Writer - The Non-Fiction Vol. 1: Reviews

"Kane's writing style is easygoing and the book is packed with information and critique on the films...This seems to be the first book to look at the films in a developmental and critical light, the fact that it's well-researched and detailed is most welcome." - Shivers Magazine on The Hellraiser Films and their Legacy "Kane should be championed for never digressing or sounding too much like an awestruck fanboy. He keeps his prose educational, entertaining and honest...In his foreword, Pinhead actor Doug Bradley states that Paul Kane has such sights to show. Never has a truer word been said." - The Dark Side on The Hellraiser Films and their Legacy Bestselling and award-winning author and editor, Paul Kane (the Arrowhead trilogy, Lunar, Hellbound Hearts, The Mammoth Book of Body Horror) has also been a genre journalist for almost twenty years, working for such magazines as SFX, Rue Morgue, GoreZone, Eclipse, Area 51, DeathRay and Fangoria to name but a few. He also wrote the bestselling, critically-acclaimed and British Fantasy Award-nominated The Hellraiser Films and their Legacy, and compiled Voices in the Dark (interviews with such genre luminaries as Neil Gaiman, John Carpenter, Ron Perlman and Betsy Palmer) with his wife, Marie O'Regan. Here, for the first time, we present a collection of his film, TV and book reviews which span the entirety of his career. From movies like The Black Cat, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Blade Runner, right up to The Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus and Avengers; from TV shows such as Dr Who, Time Tunnel and Night Gallery, to Xena, Masters of Horror and Stargate: Universe; from classic novels such as Nineteen Eighty-Four, I Am Legend and The Haunting of Hill House, to more modern fare like Under the Skin, The Intruders and The Secret of Crickley Hall...there should be something of interest for all fans of the genre.
