George Romero – Martin

George Romero – Martin (Futura, 1978)

George Romero - Martin

Martin was young and good-looking, a shy boy, perhaps even a little backward. But Martin had a secret, one he couldn’t share.

His uncle knew the family had brought the poison with them from the Old Country. He was waiting for the day he could destroy Martin and Martin’s evil.

Others knew – a woman Martin had met on a train, a woman he’d followed from the supermarket. But they were dead …

A chilling story of an ancient evil unleashed on a modern city.

Peter Lerangis Sleepy Hollow

A novelization by Peter Lerangis Screen story by Kevin Yagher and Andrew Kevin Walker Screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker

Heads Will Roll


It is 1799, the eve of a new century. In New York City, young Constable Ichabod Crane is eager to use the latest scientific methods to solve the most brutal of crimes.
But nothing can prepare him for the shocking murders that take him far from the city’s cobblestones to the eerie town of Sleepy Hollow.

Awaiting him are three beheaded bodies, all apparently victims of a legendary Headless Horseman returned from the grave to exact revenge. Ichabod uses reason to confront the horrors of the unexplained, but the reality of Sleepy Hollow’s waking nightmare is always before him. A reality where witches cast spells in the darkened woods . . . trees bleed . . . and a demon rides at night.

Robert Kaufman – Love At First Bite

[Robert Kaufman] – Love At First Bite (Fotonovel Publications, 1979)

Love At First Bite

After 700 years of one-bite stands, Transylvania’s Count Dracula travels to modern-day New York City, lock, stock and coffin, to win the woman he loves – America’s favourite glamour girl, Cindy Sondheim – a whirlwind romance that bakes the Big Apple!

What abomination is this? Something for those who find Piranha too challenging?

I’ve credited authorship to Robert Kaufman  as he wrote the screenplay and “every scene is recreated with vivid full-color pictures right out of the film. Complete dialogue too!”

William Goldman – Magic

William Goldman – Magic (Pan, 1977)

William Goldman - Magic

Corky Withers was the all-time loser. He could do card tricks, but the people didn’t like card tricks all that much.

So Corky added a twist to his act.

The twist was going to make him a star, but instead it pitched him horror ….

INTO SOMETHING SO TERRIFYING YOU’D NEVER BELIEVE IT …
