Books by Jonathan Rigby

A landmark study of the Hollywood horror film from its 19th-century beginnings through to the arrival of Vincent Price as a genre star. This 60-year period encompasses the shadowy nightmares of the silent era, the breakthrough hits in the early days of talkies, the thoughtful chillers of the 1940s and the post-war boom in lurid science-fiction.

Jonathan Rigby brings his incisive scrutiny to bear on more than 100 Continental horror films, ranging from the early years of the 20th century to the video revolution of the 1980s.
