Электронная книга - «The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. Fifth Annual Collection». Краткое содержание книги:
Psychotronic (video magazine) primarily covers horror videos and horror personalities but also contains interviews and complete filmographies of favorite horror actors, directors and producers; book and music reviews. It contains a wealth of information for the true grade b-z horror fan. A six-issue subscription to this quarterly costs $20, payable to publisher/editor Michael J. Weldon 151 First Avenue Dept PV, New York, NY 10003. ’
Mystery Scene, published by Martin H. Greenberg and edited by Ed Gorman covers the mystery and horror genres with articles and autobiographical columns by writers news items, reviews, columns and so forth. Published bimonthly, it’s a good place to get a feel for what’s happening in these two genres. My only complaint is that there is too much overlapping and not enough variety in the book reviews. Sometimes one book is reviewed two or three times in one issue. Subscription costs $35 for seven issues, Mystery Enterprises, 3840 Clark Road SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52403. ’
