The New Horror Handbook…

…has officially gone to press

Finally: Sample Pages from the Book!

Admittedly it’s taken us a bit longer to put The New Horror Handbook together than we expected, but I’m happy to report that the book was sent to the publisher on Monday, and things are finally starting to move.

Your’s truly is going to put the finishing touches on the index today, send that off to the publisher, too, and hopefully we’ll have this book out within a few weeks.

And yes, we finally managed to post a few sample pages from the book on the Web site: check them out. We’re still working on finding the best way to have them come through clear enough to read online, but I think you’ll get an idea of what to expect.

Also:

• The book’s going to come in at about 230 pages.
• It’s heavily illustrated, including many seldom seen “making of” images from the French gorefest Inside and Eli Roth’s Cabin Fever, among other movies.
• For those interested in knowing how the book is coming along, you can follow its progress (and at times, lack thereof) on Twitter.
• Finally, if you’re at all interested in such things, check out our Facebook page. We have a few things happening there sometime in the next couple of weeks that I think you will like.

Thank you again for your patience; I hope you will find it well rewarded once The New Horror Handbook finally comes out.
