Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE STONE TAPE
A signature work from the British writer Nigel Kneale, one of the genre’s true masters. Rigorously constructed, thought provoking and deeply disturbing, this was made for the BBC in 1972, and may just be the finest TV horror movie ever made
STOKER
This, the first-ever English language film by South Korea’s Chanwook Park (of SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE and OLDBOY fame), is an outrageously stylish and fascinating work
THE STEPFATHER (1987)
An intelligent, disturbing and altogether impressive eighties thriller, one of those rare films that’s well worth going out of your way to see
STAR TIME
One of the most idiosyncratic of all nineties-era serial killer dramas was this surreal account of a TV junkie becoming a mass murderer
STALKER
I say this is the masterpiece of Russia’s late Andrei Tarkovsky, an unforgettable trip through one of the cinema’s most vivid and unsettling dreamscapes
THE PIGEON
It’s never easy topping a success. In the case of German wunderkind Patrick Suskind, whose 1985 debut PERFUME was an international bestseller and one of the absolute finest novels of the decade, he didn’t even try
PIECEMEAL JUNE
Jordan Krall is a signature author of the Bizarro fiction movement, and this book is a typical example of Bizarro lit, reveling as it does in easily digestible black humored weirdness
PICCOLI
Here we one of the rarest and most sought-after children’s books of the 1950s
PHANTOMS
A novel the indefatigable Dean Koontz now calls “one of the ten biggest mistakes of my life.” It’s one of his few balls-out horror fests, and the book, Koontz says, that got him typed as a horror writer, a label he never wanted
PERFUME
Quite simply put, this is one of the great horror novels of our time, as well as an unsurpassed example of historical speculation
