a few months ago, an essay i wrote about my childhood experience with THE PROWLER was accepted into the slasher film anthology BUTCHER KNIVES & BODY COUNTS, published by DARK SCRIBE PRESS. the collection should see print this fall, and looks to be a ridiculously in-depth study of the slasher genre with contributions from over 70 authors, covering more than 80 films released between 1932 and 2009. the book will not see print for several months, but the cover was completed recently, which you can see below. for those interested (and if you’re reading this site, i’d wager you will be) i’ve also included the most current list of contributors and films the book covers, although i would suspect that list is subject to change until everything is finalized.
