    Night of the Living Dead The Official Story of the Film HC (2026 Titan Books) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. By Simon Braund. The official retrospective of one of cinemas most important films – Night of the Living Dead. The full story of the first zombie movie, the 1968 George A. Romero cult film that denoted the birth of modern horror genre. Released in 1968, George A. Romeros Night of the Living Dead revolutionized horror, redefining the zombie subgenre and influencing filmmakers for generations. This official retrospective tells the full story of how the film was made by a small group of people at the outset of their film-making careers. Interviews with cast and production company members explore the genesis of the movie, from persuading friends and family to become investors, finding the perfect run-down farmhouse in rural western Pennsylvania for the central location, assembling a cast of extras to portray flesh-eating ghouls, and the ground-breaking casting of a black actor in a leading role—Duane Jones as Ben—to the rough-and-tumble guerilla-style shoot. The book explores how Night of the Living Dead went from controversial to iconic over the years, gaining critical acclaim and a hardcore cult following. And how zombies—as envisioned by Romero and his co-creators—now permeate everything from video games to literature, all tracing back to the unparalleled original. Illustrated with movie stills, memorabilia, and unpublished on-set photos never previously seen, and including analysis of the original shooting script annotated by George A. Romero, this book is a must-have for horror fans. Hardcover, 10-in.x 12-in., 192 pages, PC/B&W. Cover price $50.00.

    By Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller.

    James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales's definitive oral history of Saturday Night Live, hailed as "incredible" (Vulture) and "required reading" (People).

    Now decades have passed, and bestselling authors James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales have returned to Studio 8H. Over more than 100 pages of new material, they raucously and revealingly take the SNL story up to the present, adding a constellation of iconic new stars, surprises, and controversies.

    World of Warcraft Night of the Dragon SC (2008 Pocket Books Novel) 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Richard Knaak. Azeroth has seen upheaval such as the mage, Krasus, could not in all his centuries of existence have ever dreamt. The Undead Scourge, the Plaguelands, none of this even an ancient dragon - for Krasus is in reality the red drake, Korialstrasz - could have prevented. Yet, ever protective of the world and, especially, the younger races, he continues, through both his own powers and the use of agents, to do what he can to bring, if not peace, then respite. Though demons and conquerors have made up much of the troubles he has been forced to contain, it is the dragons, his own kind, that disturb him most. Their stirrings portend of dark times ahead. War is coming, a conflict on a scale unimagined, heralded by a storm of wings, and fought with arcane fire in which all of Azeroth may burn! Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 320 pages, Text Only. Cover price $16.00.
