MONSTER SERIAL UPDATE: WE’VE GOT A BOOK! AGAIN!

Oops.

In the flurry of activity, I forgot to mention the revised edition of MONSTER SERIAL is now available in print and Kindle from AMAZON. Oh, I climbed every other mountain on the Internet and shouted about the book to the heavens ... I just, you know, forgot to mention it on my own website. Accidents happen.

The first edition went on sale not long before Christmas last year. The new revision, subtitled the SATURDAY MORNING SUGAR RUSH EDITION, was released in January and corrects a few errors, adds a few small items and polishes the book's overall design. The is the "real" version of the book, as it was originally envisioned.

MONSTER SERIAL is the product of a month-long blogging effort by the writers of The Collinsport Historical Society. Ordinarily dedicated to the cult-TV drama DARK SHADOWS, the website’s writers stepped away from Collinsport for a month to write about their favorite horror films. MONSTER SERIAL contains the bulk of those essays, as well as some new features. The collection of writings touches on everything from the classic Bela Lugosi DRACULA, Vincent Price’s works with William Castle and Roger Corman, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, the movies of Val Lewton, Stephen King and dozens of others. For a full list of film's covered, see the book's table of contents, which is available for viewing at Amazon.

Here’s what people are saying about 

THE COLLINSPORT HISTORICAL SOCIETY:

BLOG OF THE YEAR, 
2012 Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards

“Wallace McBride must haunt the cobwebby lower stacks of old newspapers and magazines by the hour to unearth the flabbergasting array of long forgotten articles based on anything and anyone Dark  Shadows. Furthermore, colorful and exhaustive coverage of everything new and happening (including fan art) ensures that The Collinsport Historical Society is the most comprehensive (and then some) Dark Shadows web site imaginable. McBride’s ‘fang in cheek’ glorification of the show makes this site more than mere information — it is exalted entertainment.”

 — LARA PARKER, author of
DARK SHADOWS: WOLF MOON RISING

“I’m a big fan of Wallace’s blog, The Collinsport Historical Society, because he is clearly passionate about Dark Shadows and the horror genre in general. What I love, though, is that there’s a sense of irreverence in his writing. Reading his writing is like being in a pub with an old mate. He knows what he’s talking about, he cares about it but he’s not afraid to have a laugh about his passion.” 

— JOSEPH LIDSTER, writer for Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures; 

producer of Big Finish’s dark shadows audiodramas

“MONSTER SERIAL offers engaging appreciations of some fine fright films. Chaffin and McBride lend pungent, personal, well-wrought observations and McCray’s essays are of particularly focused passion. These pieces will inspire you to review favorites with a refreshed perspective as well as to embrace other movies for the first time, lead by these authors’ enthusiasm.” 

— MAGUS PETER H. GILMORE,
High Priest of the Church of Satan
