 BLACK SHUCK BOOKS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE FORTHCOMING RELEASE OF TWILIGHT’S LAST SCREAMING, THE NEW NOVEL FROM ACCLAIMED AUTHOR AND FILMMAKER SEAN HOGAN. Paths cross. What is the relationship between Senator Greg Stillson and murderous preacher Harry Powell? How did sweet Alice Spages meet Roman and Minnie Castavet? What happens when Laura Mars gets into Travis Bickle’s taxi? Stories entwine. What links Michael Myers to the strange town of Twin Peaks? How is Clint Eastwood’s nameless Stranger connected to ‘Dirty’ Harry Callaghan? What Paranormal Activity goes on in the shadows of Hill House? In the follow-up to his acclaimed England’s Screaming, Sean Hogan acts as your guide through the liminal spaces of North American horror, down Nightmare Alleys and across High Plains, following the Lost Highway all the way to the Bates Motel. At once fiction and criticism, Twilight’s Last Screaming masterfully examines how our experience of cinema takes on an imaginative life of its own. It deconstructs and reassembles genre film into unfamiliar but recognisable shapes, mapping the history of the American horror movie and, ultimately, the dark heart of America itself. Praise for ENGLAND’S SCREAMING “…written with skill and a zealous intensity” —Financial Times (named one of the five best genre novels of the year) “England’s Screaming is a British horror film connect-the-dots portrait of frightening times in our recent history… and says a lot about the horrible things happening just now. Massively recommended.” —Kim Newman “…a brilliant brilliant book…I can’t wait to see where a follow-up novel will go…” —Kendall Reviews “A very special and unique tribute to British horror. Clever and mesmerising.” —Stephen Volk “…a beautiful experiment full of surprises and nerdy strokes of genius wonder” —Diabolique Magazine “…creates an alternative fantastical history of post-war Britain that is both thrilling in its audacity and ingenuity and chillingly plausible” —Ghosts & Scholars –––––––––––––––––––– Sean Hogan is an award-nominated writer and filmmaker based in the UK. He has published several books of cinema metafiction, including England's Screaming, Three Mothers, One Father, a monograph on Gary Sherman's Death Line, and the forthcoming That Fatal Shore.
