“fabulous...Weaver has brought together so many interviews of key figures...I literally can’t name them all”—Cornerstone Magazine; “candid...a must”—ARBA; “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; “fascinating”—VOYA; “this one is informative...greatly nostalgic”—Library Journal.
