There are a lot of different books out there covering a wide variety of sub-genres, and sub-sub-genres. Trust me, I know, because I have quite a few of them! And when I come across one that covers something completely new and different, I’m even more excited to add it to my library. That is exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon this recently published volume on plant horror! The more I read about the book, the more I realized there are quite a few titles that would fall under this bizarre sub-genre and then realizing that I find most of them pretty entertaining!
Authors Lauren Jane Barnett and Tony Mardon tackle “flora from outer space, man-made monsters, mushrooms and fungi, killer trees, naturally evolved threats, grasslands and cornfields, and a cornucopia of other films related to the genre.” Within the pages, they will cover titles like Creepshow, Godzilla vs. Biollante, Splinter, The Navy vs. The Night Monsters, Die Monster Die, Maneater of Hydra, In the Tall Grass, and many more.
The 253-page book is from Telos Publishing and should be out this month. Priced at £16.99, which is about $22 US, but not sure if it will be available here in the states through Amazon. But you can check out more on the book by going to Telos Publishing’s site HERE, as well as seeing some of the other cool titles they have.
