HORROR & SCI-FI is a resource for students, teachers, writers, and actors; and features complete summaries and reviews of films and books inspired by the heavy hitters in the genre, such as Pierre Boulle, Stephen King, and William Blatty, as well as the quintessential horror and sci-fi stories of the past two centuries into which Francis Ford Coppola breathed new life in his colorful 1990s films MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN and BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, both with their A-list casts. Theodore Lyons majored in English at Illinois Wesleyan University and edited for several journals. His horror novels include SLEIGHT RETURN and THE WARLOCK BOOK.
