An Interesting Read...

I am in the middle of Alexander Numerov's, Icons of Grief: Val Lewton's Homefront Pictures. To be more truthful, I am skipping around (I couldn't wait to read the chapter on the Carrefour character from I Walked With A Zombie) and am finding it a very interesting, if not all that well written book. The writing is fine, it's just that Numerov attempts to justify his points too strongly and, instead of merely flowing, it comes off like "I swear, this is the way it is." Regardless, wonderful points are raised and the book could not (of course!) be released at a better time, what with the new Val Lewton Box Set and all...
