With an introduction by legendary macabre cartoonist and horror writer Gahan Wilson!I'm the newest entry in the legendary, 30-year-spanning BOOK OF LISTS series, originally started in way back in 1977 by Amy, and her dad Irving Wallace and her brother David Wallechinsky.In addition to many volumes of THE BOOK OF LISTS, Amy's other books include: SIGNIFICA, THE BOOK OF PREDICTIONS, and THE INTIMATE SEX LIVES OF FAMOUS PEOPLE, all written with her family. She also authored THE PSYCHIC HEALING BOOK (with Bill Henkin), THE TWO (with Irving Wallace), and THE OFFICIAL PUNK ROCK BOOK OF LISTS (with Handsome Dick Manitoba). Her solo work includes the acclaimed biography THE PRODIGY, the erotic novel DESIRE, and the controversial and Los Angeles Times best-selling memoir SORCERER'S APPRENTICE: MY LIFE WITH CARLOS CASTANEDA.Del Howison - along with his wife Sue - owns and operates the legendary Dark Delicacies, the only all-horror book and gift store ANYWHERE! If you love horror, you should know this store. Here's its exterior, in lovely Burbank, California, USA.
The street address is 4213 West Burbank Boulevard, Burbank, California 91505. Phone number is 818-556-6660 or 888-darkdel. Find the store on the web at www.darkdel.com. Tell 'em THE BOOK OF LISTS: HORROR sent you! And, in addition to running the store, Del is an acclaimed (and Bram Stoker award winning) anthologist, having co-edited (with Jeff Gelb) the anthologies DARK DELICACIES (winner of the Bram Stoker Award) and DARK DELICACIES II: FEAR (nominated for a Stoker Award). Del's short fiction has appeared in numerous anthologies, and he is currently working on several projects, including DARK SCREEN: HORROR WRITERS ON HORROR CINEMA with Lisa Morton.The third in the unholy trio of THE BOOK OF LISTS: HORROR is one Scott Bradley. Very little is known about him at this point, other than the fact that this is his first book. He's Amy Wallace's boyfriend (indeed, they live across the street from each other!), was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri (birthplace of Francis Dolarhyde AKA the Red Dragon AKA the Tooth Fairy!) and - in addition to horror - he likes cats, Georges Bataille, Kansas City bar-b-que, Louise Brooks, smoking (way too many) cigarettes, Stanley Kubrick, Cinespia, and holding his head together. Since he doesn't have any previous books to show you, he would like to show you a photo from writer/director Richard Stanley's film HARDWARE (1990) featuring sparky MARK-13 and Jill...
