Book Description
The Dark Ranger stalks the blood-soaked sands of the Old West in this supernatural thriller from the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Sunglasses After Dark. His ghost-breaking skills are advertised on the back of penny dreadfuls, but Sam Hell’s real mission is personal. The former Texas Ranger’s life was changed when he came upon the town of Golgotha, where an inhuman evil had been unleashed in the form of a long-dead conquistador. Released from his grave, the Spaniard called Sangre massacred the locals and amassed a small army of the undead. Only Hell was able to escape, thanks to a containment charm buried with Sangre. But not before he was bitten by the vampire—and left for dead . . . He may have died as a man, but the Hell that awoke was now a creature of the night, saved by the magic of the Comanche shamaness, Pretty Woman. With their destinies entwined, the pair travel the West, tracking down those birthed at Golgotha and their unholy spawn. Until the carnage at a trading post leads them to a showdown with Sangre that will tip the fate of the world . . . Originally published in Dead Man’s Hand Praise for Nancy A. Collins “Possibly the most original voice in the world of vampire fiction since Anne Rice published Interview with a Vampire.” —Film Threat “Nancy Collins’ bone-colored, blood-smeared star—for she is certainly a star—stands bright and hot at the pinnacle of the horror heap.” —Joe R. Lansdale, author of Moon Lake and Bubba Ho-Tep “If there is such a thing as a splatterpunk masterpiece, Nancy A. Collins has written it.” —Asimov’s Science Fiction

The Gunslingers of '69
Author: Brian Hannan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476679355
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
In 1969--the counter-cultural moment when Easy Rider triggered a "youthquake" in audience interests--Westerns proved more dominant than ever at the box office and at the Oscars. It was a year of masterpieces--The Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Once Upon a Time in the West and True Grit. Robert Redford achieved star status. Old-timers like John Wayne, Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum appeared in two Westerns apiece. Raquel Welch took on the mantle of Queen of the West. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin tried their hand at a musical (Paint Your Wagon). New directors like George Roy Hill reinvigorated the genre while veteran Sam Peckinpah at last found popular approval. Themes included women's rights, social anxieties about violence and changing attitudes of and towards African-Americans and Native Americans. All of the 40-plus Westerns released in the U.S. in 1969 are covered in depth, offering a new perspective on the genre.

The Elvis Movies
Author: James L. Neibaur
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442230746
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Elvis Presley’s stature as the “King of Rock and Roll” will never be challenged. Between his first RCA hit single in 1956—the number-one smash “Heartbreak Hotel”—and his death in 1977, Elvis amassed more than 100 hits on the music charts. Presley’s dominance on the music chart was paralleled only by the singer’s motion picture career. Between 1956 and 1969, Elvis appeared in more than thirty films, further cementing his place as one of the most popular entertainers of the twentieth century. While there have been countless books that explore the real Elvis tucked beneath layers of showbiz mythology, such volumes often dismiss his motion picture career as insignificant or overlook his onscreen work entirely. In The Elvis Movies, James L. Neibaur looks at the thirty-one features that Presley made, from Love Me Tender in 1956 to Change of Habit in 1969. Most of these were star vehicles tailor-made for his image. As Neibaur points out, Elvis had a real interest in being a good actor, but his initial promise was soon thwarted by anti-creative decisions that sold a packaged version of the singer. Despite lapsing into a predictable formula of lightweight musicals, Elvis Presley’s star power ensured that the films became box office successes. Neibaur examines each film, providing information about their production and offering assessments about their value in general, as well as their place in the Presley canon. Additional details include behind-the-scenes personnel, costars, DVD availability, and featured hit songs. An entertaining and informative look at an often underrated aspect of the singer’s career, The Elvis Movies offers readers insight into his films. This volume will be a welcome resource to fans of the singer who want to know more about the King and his successful ventures on the big screen.
