Cinema Retro has received the following press release from Midnight Marquee Press.
When Sir Christopher Lee passed away at the age of 93 in
2015, it was truly the end of an era. He was the last of the great horror
stars. This book is a comprehensive overview of Lee's work in the horror genre,
including movies, books, audio recordings and video games. As well as providing
in-depth production histories and critical analysis, new interviews have been
conducted with Lee's co-workers (some of them speaking here for the first
time), which shed fresh light upon the man and his work. Few actors spanned the
generations with more lasting appeal than Christopher Lee. From his ventures
with Hammer-whose swift gradation of flesh and blood into a staid 1950s cinema
broke new ground-to his work, in the next century, on Star Wars, Lord of the
Rings and numerous interactive formats, Lee was constantly abreast of
advancements in his industry. Consequently, this book can be read not only as
an alternative history of the Horror Film, but also of the myriad developments
within cinema itself.
