Winner of the 2001 International Horror Guild Award for Best Non-Fiction. The essays by David J. Schow, whose regular column in Fangoria was well known for its rants and raves in the tradition of Dennis Miller, Harlan Ellison, and Professor Irwin Corey, are collected here for the first time. Schow spouts off on a wide variety of subjects ranging from the essence of horror to the perils of censorship to whatever happened to be on his mind at the time. These pieces are insightful, provocative, frequently witty, and always entertaining -- which is exactly what you'd expect from the writer of "Red Light," "Bunny Didn't Tell Us," and "Not from Around Here."
