Reviews
"another fabulous interview book by Tom"-- Classic Images "Weaver steps back and simply lets the memories flow. These are not Q and A interviews, but lengthy, fascinating essays compiled by Weaver based on the lengthy, detailed comments of the subjects. It is most effective...this reviewer can offer his highest recommendation"-- Rogue Cinema "I recommend this book enthusiastically"-- Monsters from the Vault "a winner"-- Classic Images "Tom Weaver has enjoyed a lengthy career writing about the horror genre through his reference guides and countless magazine contributions. His interviews are thorough and informative but presented conversationally, as though he is simply visiting with an old friend. Weaver expertly guides the talk in a way that allows him to ask his questions in an informal manner, and likely he received a more detailed answer than if he had approached the subject as a journalist would"-- horrortalk.com "one of Weaver's best books to date--jam-packed with penetrating conversations about movies we love"-- Western Clippings "62 Interviews!! When you think how long ago many of the films and television series covered in this book were made, it's hard to believe that many people would still be around? And if anyone can find them, Weaver can. And it seems like with each new edition, the illustrations are even better and rarer. No one does these interviews books as well as Tom Weaver. Can there be more? Knowing TW, the answer is probably yes!"-- Little Shoppe of Horrors "Tom Weaver has long been the doyen of writers about the more esoteric areas of genre cinema, and his single minded devotion to tracking down many a neglected talent has borne impressive fruit in recording the reminiscences of creative personnel otherwise neglected by interviewers. A Sci-Fi Swarm and Horror Horde is a highly entertaining collection which covers many years and many filmmakers and is crammed full of piquant anecdotes"-- Crime Time ., "another fabulous interview book by Tom"-- Classic Images ; "Weaver steps back and simply lets the memories flow.
