Roger Corman: A Biography: King of the B's (Hourlong Press) by Hourlong Press Price verified one minute ago

The King of the B's Roger Corman. The name conjures visions of outlandish creatures, campy dialogue, and blood-soaked thrills. But Corman's story is far richer than mere B-movie schlock. He was a maverick who thrived on the fringes of Hollywood, a rebel who defied the studio system and, in the process, launched a cinematic revolution. In this book, we'll look into his meteoric rise, from a wide-eyed student to a director churning out films at a breakneck pace. We'll explore the iconic low-budget genre flicks that cemented his reputation as the "King of the B's," films that dared to push boundaries and entertain with gleeful abandon. But Corman's legacy extends far beyond campy horror and sci-fi. He was a shrewd businessman who mastered the art of filmmaking on a shoestring budget, a mentor who nurtured the talents of future Hollywood heavyweights like Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. His influence on American cinema is undeniable, a testament to his creative vision and entrepreneurial spirit. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready to experience the wild ride that is Roger Corman's Hollywood.

The Adventures of Ulvik the Troll by Bark Mason (6 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Ulvik is wise according to the low standards of his kind. He is the only troll that knows which colour of cow is best for chopping into sausages or why a Saxon is tastier than a Celt when stewed with dumplings. In his adventures, set in tenth-century England, he meets Saxons who want to roast him for dinner, a scary Viking chieftain who wants to punish him for burgling the local mill and a neurotic shepherd, anxious to understand his sheep. The book also includes an account of the epic Battle at Rock Hill and Ulvik's subsequent meeting with Erik Bloodaxe, the pompous king of the Vikings. Drawing upon reserves of ignorance, greed and sheer blind luck, Ulvik manages to win through against the odds, and each adventure provides the troll with a little more misguided wisdom to impart to his neighbours. Notes The book contains eight tales, a handful of pictures and even has a map! It is suitable for children, teenagers and adults. Warning! This book contains a small number of hairy people, which some readers may find offensive.
