Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the publication of Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media with us on Friday night! Thanks also to David Kerekes for being our special guest, to Bloomsbury and Northumbria University for subsiding the event, and to the Mining Institute in Newcastle for being such an awesome venue.

Only a few photos were taken - before and after (not during!) the event.

Talking British horror distribution at University of Warwick tomorrow

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Tomorrow morning I will be delivering a lecture for students taking Dr Helen Wheatley's HORROR AND THE GOTHIC module. The lecture draws on research published in my book, Contemporary British Horror Cinema, and will address why distributors increasingly opt for "direct-to-home-media" releases than theatrical runs.

The lecture is then proceeded by a screening of Salvage, a film that was only in cinemas for 3 days before appearing on all home media formats.

SNUFF out now -- but delays to UK shipping

0 Comments

Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media is now available. Unfortunately, however, they have been delays in getting UK orders shipped out. Apparently this is something to do with the US warehouse. Apologies to all those from the UK who preordered the book. Bloomsbury tell us that copies will reach people within 2 weeks.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, UK orders won't be received until early March. Many apologies to those who have preordered the book!
