SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE FICTION

Received my contributor’s copy of this magnificent new book from the UK, published by We Belong Dead and edited by Eric McNaughton and Darrell Buxton Over 400 glossy color pages, beautifully designed with many stunning and rare images, SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE-FICTION covers sci-fi cinema throughout the decades, from 1902 (A TRIP TO THE MOON) to 2018 (READY PLAYER ONE). I was thrilled to contribute three essays for this volume, looking at IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE (1958), X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES (1963), and BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (1970). Nice to see the mighty General Ursus from BENEATH taking the center spot on Paul Garner Monster Art's great cover illustration. Available from the We Belong Website in both soft and hardcover editions, link below. These books usually sell out pretty quick, so get in fast if you want one!
