Cult Fiction 1: Horror

Until just a few years ago one of the major plusses of collecting horror fiction was that it was incredibly easy, and inexpensive, to acquire. Not anymore!

THE JOURNEY INSIDE

An amalgamation of educational drama and grade-Z science fiction that was the first ever non-documentary film made expressly for IMAX

ABELARD — THE CASTRATION

From Germany, a failed attempt at artsploitation that was completed in 1975 but not released until two years later—and then promptly forgotten!

THE NEW NEIGHBOR

Certainly THE NEW NEIGHBOR showcases nearly all its author’s strengths…and, yes, a few of his weaknesses.

MEDUSA

This profusely illustrated limited edition 2010 hardcover (which is already a collector’s item) was promoted as the definitive edition of this “neglected masterpiece,” featuring a newly written introduction by Colin Wilson and 12 short stories and a nonfiction piece by Visiak.

LOVE SONG

LOVE SONG is part of the pornographic cycle penned by the famous sci-fi author Philip Jose Farmer, and easily the best of the bunch.

LORD HORROR

LORD HORROR was never reprinted after its initial run (a large portion of which was confiscated by British police), making this one of the rarest and most sought-after horror novels of all time, and the most famous entry in Savoy Books’ multi-media Lord Horror saga.
