Book Description
As adventurers of the grand cosmos, Mr. Jason Space and Captain Helena Galaxy seek to discover new worlds and new adventures and to have fun while doing it. They will never do paid mercenary work, no matter how good the offer, for they are explorers and not mercenaries. They will complete every mission they undertake, no matter how much trouble it gets them into. And they will never give up, regardless of whatever menacing aliens or dangerous obstacles they run into. When Galaxy travels to the uninhabited world of Magna 5, she goes there only to find rare rocks she and Space can sell to geologists for money to help fuel their travels across the universe. But when Galaxy finds herself alone up against an old-fashioned assassin who is trying to kill a famed holofilm director, and with a meteor on its way to devastate the planet's surface, Galaxy must race against time to stop the assassin and get off Magna 5 before it is too late.

Book Description
The first amateur movie--or cine--camera was patented in 1898, but it wasn't until 1923 that mainstream manufacturers began making cameras specifically for the amateur market. During their history, thoughtfully and thoroughly detailed in this authoritative text, a huge range of amateur cine cameras was made. The four major amateur movie film gauges are covered at length: 16mm, 9.5mm, Standard-8, and Super-8, along with some of their less successful rivals. Unique in a book on this subject is a major chapter on movie camera accessories, many of which found strange and complicated ways of bringing professional specifications to amateur equipment. The book is illustrated throughout with landmark cameras--those that epitomized certain eras, plus many other unusual and rarely illustrated models. A glossary of technical terms and an index complete the book.

Short Story Press Presents Lights, Camera, Horror! by Sade Andria Zabala. A group of film majors attempt to film a horror movie over spring break for their final project. Despite the horror theme, Carrie is not a believer in the supernatural. She and her classmates enlist the help of Jack's older brother, who is a famous Hollywood director. • The eccentric director has some quirky work habits such as keeping the script from the cast until the last minute. Unfortunately, he also insists that Carrie and her friends completely commit to the project by renting an expensive Victorian mansion across the country. Grayson Manor is described as the gloomiest, most sinister-looking building in a row of abandoned Victorians on Praire Avenue, Washington. • What's daunting is that this house that they spent their savings on is rumored to be haunted. Something in the house seems to be mimicking the plot lines of their movie, Five Nights of Terror. When someone actually dies, things take a deadly turn. Is there a psychotic murderer on the loose?

Or will she and her friends slowly fall prey to the unknown? Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
