Best known as a writer of supernatural horror, T.E.D. Klein, author of The Ceremonies and Dark Gods, has also written essays, articles, op-ed pieces, and reviews that are provocative, erudite, occasionally splenetic, and always highly opinionated. This book, compiled by S. T. Joshi, presents a wide selection of Klein’s nonfiction, including:
A lively account of the first World Fantasy Convention, where the field’s most colorful personalities gathered in Providence to honor its native son, H. P. Lovecraft.
Klein’s introduction to the Arkham House edition of Lovecraft’s shorter tales… His lists of the 13 most terrifying horror stories and the 25 most familiar horror plots.
Memoirs of his college days in Providence, under Lovecraft’s spell… His triumphs and blunders as a Paramount script reader… His influential tenure as editor of Twilight Zone magazine… What it was like to work with eccentric (and notorious) director Dario Argento on his first full-length American film.
A pair of groundbreaking New York Times features on cruelty to animals in the movies… A skeptical take on Woody Allen at the turning point in his career… The hitherto unremarked secret of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001.
Personal encounters with legendary weird-tale writers Robert Aickman and Donald Wandrei… Appreciations of Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Rod Serling, Ramsey Campbell, and Mark Twain… Reviews of Ruth Rendell, Christopher Priest, William Peter Blatty, and a quartet of Gene Roddenberry biographies.
Plus candid interviews, impassioned editorials for CrimeBeat magazine, and even a couple of poems.
