Quatrième de couverture : English Gothic was the first book to trace the rise and fall of Britain's horror cinema from its beginning in the 1890's right through to the end of the 20th century, encompassing the lost films of the silent era, the Karloff and Lugosi chillers of the 1930's, the lurid classics from Hammer's House of Horror and the explicit shockers of the 1970's. Now it comes complete with an assessment of the remarkable renaissance enjoyed by British horror in the 21st century. This revisited new edition features a comprehensive section on television horror, a foreword by genre star Barbara Shelley and a wealth on new illustrations.
