this is a large,well-written book by people who obviously love the material and know the material.i had purchased it,never having had read the magazine which this book is a compilation of(i believe the first 10 issues?).
my interests are of the horror film genre and sub-genres,which this book includes.however,i was a bit disappointed in the amount of material pertaining to "adult" films.having no real interest in that area(particularly on an intellectual level),i found a large portion of this book dull.
so,for those familiar with the source material will find this of no surprise.to those who are new to "Flesh and Blood",be warned of what "flesh" they are refering too

Well, what can I say. I love horror and all things gory. Unfortunatley this book has more porn in it than the red red kroovy. Fab Press is wonderful and they put together a great book, so if cheesy wierd porns are your bag then this book is for you. The few sections on horror films are great though. However, Book Of The Dead stands as the best Fab Press release.

This is a gorgous and informative book about cult sex & horror films. Like all of the Fab Press books, it's overflowing with fantastic photographs on every page, many of them in color. If nothing else, the pictures will keep you entertained for hours. Beyond that, the text is also great -- a hodgepodge of critical essays, interviews with directors, and film reviews. If you enjoy films like Dellamorte Dellamore, I Spit on Your Grave, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, etc., you will love this book.
