A beautiful new edition of the long out of print classic - mixing travelogue, memoir and how-to draw insight - with 30 new pp from Craig's return trip over a decade later. In 2004, on the back of the international success of Blankets, Craig Thompson set out on a tour across Europe and Morocco, promoting foreign editions of his book and researching his next project. Carnet de Voyage is the gorgeous sketchbook diary of these travels. From wandering around Paris and Barcelona between events, to navigating markets in Fez and fleeing tourist traps in Marrakesh, we see glimpses of each place, rendered in Thompson's exquisite ink line. While desert landscapes and crowded street scenes flow, the sketchbook is packed first and foremost with people - other travelers passing through, friends and lovers he meets along the way and old friends and other cartoonists that weave in and out of Thompson's life. Carnet de Voyage is a casual yet intimate portrait of a celebrated cartoonist at a moment between his two seminal works - Blankets and Habibi.

Intertwining tenderness, despair, and humour, Alone captures how someone can be an everyman, and every man is someone.

HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN has attained canonical status, having ushered in a new way of writing about film. Kier-La Janisse's acclaimed book is an autobiographical exploration of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films that examines hundreds of films through a daringly personal lens. In this pioneering work, anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and a consideration of female madness, both onscreen and off. Following the extraordinary success of its 10th anniversary expanded hardcover re-issue, which features new reviews of 100 more films - many of which were inspired in part by the book itself - and hundreds of new images, FAB Press have now published an affordable paperback edition. Cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Horror as a genre provides the most welcoming platform for these histrionics: crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness, apocalyptic hysteria. Unlike her male counterpart - 'the eccentric' - the female neurotic lives a shamed existence, making these films those rare places where her destructive emotions get to play. This sharply-designed book, including a 48-page full-colour section, is packed with 680 rare stills, posters, pressbooks and artwork throughout, that combine with family photos and artifacts to form a titillating sensory overload, with a filmography that traverses the acclaimed and the obscure in equal measure. Films covered include The Entity, The Corruption of Chris Miller, Singapore Sling, 3 Women, Toys Are Not for Children, Repulsion, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, The Haunting of Julia, Secret Ceremony, Cutting Moments, Out of the Blue, Mademoiselle, The Piano Teacher, Possession, Antichrist and hundreds more!

They claim those experiments they''ve been performing are for the greater good of mankind. But what if they actually want the opposite? What happens when doctors are dead set on researching the strange, the bizarre, the weird? What happens when all that scientific and medical knowledge only results in the creation of unimaginable horror? Ever since the dawn of cinema, filmmakers have been depicting on screen the potential outcomes of medical madness and science gone sick. Now join surgeon, author, film critic and not-at-all-mad Doctor (at least, according to him) John Llewellyn Probert as he takes a detailed look at the history of one of the most enduring archetypes in cinema, with an introductory overview of the genre followed by reviews of over 200 key mad doctor movies.

In this candid memoir, horror legend Stuart Gordon gives a vivid account of his remarkable life, from a student manning the barricades during the civil unrest of the 1960s, via an infamous extended stint as an experimental theater maverick that included his arrest on obscenity charges for a satirical 1968 reimagining of Peter Pan, to ultimately becoming an iconic figure in cult cinema. Along with actors Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, producer Brian Yuzna, and screenwriter Dennis Paoli, Gordon shocked the world with his wickedly witty 1985 debut feature Re-Animator. The smash hit film immediately established Gordon as the pre-eminent cinematic interpreter of legendary horror author H.P. Lovecraft. He went on to undertake a succession of horror, science fiction, and thriller productions that saw him working across the globe, from Italy (Castle Freak), Hungary (Daughter of Darkness) and Australia (Fortress), to Ireland (Space Truckers) and Spain (Dagon). Gordon recalls a wealth of anecdotes, revealing what it was like to direct actors such as Anthony Perkins, Dennis Hopper, Oliver Reed, Lance Henriksen and William H. Macy. Stuart Gordon''s memoir is an authentically funny, disarmingly honest glimpse into the life of a director pushing the limits of what the mainstream would accept. It''s the story of a bona fide original, an uncompromising artist with the common touch, and of a loving family man who delighted in disturbing us all with his restless, brilliant imagination. Gordon''s filmography ranges from the iconic Lovecraftian horror From Beyond (1986), to science fiction action flicks including Robot Jox (1990), gruelling period pieces such as The Pit and the Pendulum (1998), the brutal drama King of the Ants (2003), and his David Mamet adaptation Edmond (2005). Gordon has left behind a unique, subversive cinematic legacy. Naked Theater & Uncensored Horror is Stuart Gordon''s final completed work, presented by FAB Press unexpurgated, and fully endorsed and approved by the Gordon family trust.
