Kim Newman Knihy
31. júl 1959
Kim Newman je majster žánrovej literatúry, ktorý s neuveriteľnou komplexnosťou a humorom čerpá z prvkov hororu, sci-fi a fantasy. Jeho diela sú plné odkazov na klasickú i populárnu kultúru, pričom sa pohráva s očakávaniami čitateľov a subvertuje žánrové konvencie. Newmanov štýl je charakteristický hravosťou a schopnosťou prepájať zdanlivo nesúrodé odkazy do pútavých a často znepokojivých príbehov. Či už skúma alternatívne histórie, kde sa fikcia stáva realitou, alebo sa ponára do temných zákutí ľudskej psychiky, jeho písanie vždy ponúka jedinečný a provokatívny pohľad na svet.

One of a series of novels set in a nightmare USA of the near future; an anarchic, cybergoth world devastated by climatic catastrophe and populated by gang-cults and policed zones. Society is marked by a resurgence of tribalism, and even the laws of nature are on the brink of collapse.
In 1968, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby brought a new slant to the horror film, bringing zombies and witchcraft into a contemporary setting, and much closer to home than the cardboard Transylvanias of earlier films. This work is a critical overview of the horror movie genre from the late 1960s with a discussion of over 2000 films - masterpiece and monstrosity alike.
