B. Yeats as a “scholar, connoisseur, drunkard, poet, pervert, most charming of men,” Count Stanislaus Eric Stenbock (1860–1895) is surely the greatest exemplar of the Decadent movement of the late nineteenth century.\r\n\r\nA friend of Aubrey Beardsley, patron of the extraordinary pre-Raphaelite artist Simeon Solomon, and contemporary of Oscar Wilde, Stenbock died at the age of thirty-six as a result of his addiction to opium and his alcoholism, having published just three slim volumes of suicidal poetry and one collection of morbid short stories.\r\n\r\nStenbock was a homosexual convert to Roman Catholicism and owner of a serpent, a toad, and a dachshund called Trixie. It was said that toward the end of his life he was accompanied everywhere by a life-size wooden doll that he believed to be his son. His poems and stories are replete with queer, supernatural, mystical, and Satanic themes; original editions of his books are highly sought by collectors of recherché literature.\r\n\r\nEdited and introduced by David Tibet; with an afterword by Tim d\'Arch Smith and a comprehensive bibliography by David Tibet, Ray Russell and Mark Valentine, <em>Of Kings and Things</em> is the first introduction to Stenbock’s writing for the general reader.\r\n\r\nThis volume offers fifteen stories, including all of those in his fabled collections <em>Studies of Death</em> and <em>Child of the Soul</em>,  over thirty poems and two essays by this complex, intriguing figure.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/of-kings-and-things/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong></li>\r\n</ul>','Of Kings and Things','Of Kings and Things: Strange Tales and Decadent Poems\r\nby Count Eric Stanislaus Stenbock\r\nEdited by David Tibet','inherit','closed','closed','','6012-revision-v1','','','2018-10-19 09:46:25','2018-10-19 09:46:25','',6012,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6012-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6212,2,'2018-10-19 14:18:01','2018-10-19 14:18:01','','Jesscase','','inherit','closed','closed','','jesscase','','','2018-10-19 14:18:01','2018-10-19 14:18:01','',6178,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Jesscase.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(6213,2,'2018-10-19 14:18:21','2018-10-19 14:18:21','<h2><em><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/flowers-of-perversion/\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6183 size-full\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FOPcoverwebsmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"420\" /></a>The Delirious Cinema of Jesús Franco, Volume Two\r\n</em>\r\nBy Stephen Thrower</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>HB 512pp\r\n240mm x 269mm\r\n£45.00 / £65\r\n520 images, full colour throughout </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>ISBN: 9781907222603</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Available in mid-November in Standard and Collectors\' Editions. <i>The Collectors\' Edition </i>of 500 copies is signed and numbered by Stephen Thrower and features specially designed boards, a different dust jacket image, a set of colour postcards, and...</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6212\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Jesscase.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"507\" height=\"380\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>The Sinister Case of Dr. Franco</em></strong>\r\nA 100 page, hardbound book, featuring a facsimile of items left behind at Hotel Quetzal in Southern France during the shooting of <em>Mandinga </em>in 1975.

An extreme book, unreasonable but not irrational. Abrasive, contemptuous, attitudinizing, ignorant and yet brilliant.” —Dennis Potter\r\n\r\nOut of print for fifty years, Jeff Nuttall\'s <em>Bomb Culture</em> has achieved legendary status as a powerful, informative, and spirited exploration of 1960s alternative society and counterculture. Nuttall\'s confessional account of the period investigates the sources of its radical art, music,and protest movements as well as the beliefs, anxieties, and conceits of its key agitators, including his own.\r\n\r\nNuttall argued that a tangible psychic dread of nuclear holocaust pervaded both high and low cultures, determining their attitude and content, much as the horrors of World War I had nourished the tactics and aesthetics of Dadaism.\r\n\r\nAccompanying the original text is a new foreword by author Iain Sinclair, who was closely acquainted with Jeff Nuttall and participated in the turbulent underground culture described in <em>Bomb Culture</em>. This anniversary edition is rounded out with an afterword by writer Maria Fusco and a contextual introduction by the book\'s editors which includes photographs and images of Nuttall\'s distinctive artwork as well as further archival materials.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Bomb Culture: 50th Anniversary Edition','PB 352pp, 135 x 215, £14.99 ','inherit','closed','closed','','6215-revision-v1','','','2018-11-19 14:54:38','2018-11-19 14:54:38','',6215,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6215-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6225,2,'2018-11-20 12:11:56','2018-11-20 12:11:56','<h2><em><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/flowers-of-perversion/\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6183 size-full\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FOPcoverwebsmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"420\" /></a>The Delirious Cinema of Jesús Franco, Volume Two\r\n</em>\r\nBy Stephen Thrower</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>HB 512pp\r\n240mm x 269mm\r\n£45.00 / £65\r\n520 images, full colour throughout </strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>ISBN: 9781907222603</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Available in Standard and Collectors\' Editions. <i>The Collectors\' Edition </i>of 500 copies is signed and numbered by Stephen Thrower and features specially designed boards, a different dust jacket image, a set of colour postcards, and...</p>\r\n<i>We now expect copies to be available early January 2019.\r\nPlease watch this space and our social media for news.</i>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-6212\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Jesscase.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"507\" height=\"380\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>The Sinister Case of Dr. Franco</em></strong>\r\nA 100 page, hardbound book, featuring a facsimile of items left behind at Hotel Quetzal in Southern France during the shooting of <em>Mandinga </em>in 1975.

In her new memoir, <i>All in the Downs</i>, Collins tells the story of that lifelong relationship with English folksong—a dedication to artistic integrity that has guided her through the triumphs and tragedies of her life.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-6096\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_7901-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"344\" /><i>All in the Downs</i> combines elements of memoir—from her working-class origins in wartime Hastings to the bright lights of the 1950s folk revival in London—alongside reflections on the role traditional music and the English landscape have played in shaping her vision. From formative field recordings made with Alan Lomax in the United States to the “crowning glories” recorded with her sister Dolly on the Sussex Downs, she writes of the obstacles that led to her withdrawal from the spotlight and the redemption of a new artistic flourishing that continues today with her unexpected return to recording in 2016.\r\n\r\nThrough it all, Shirley Collins has been guided and supported by three vital and inseparable loves: traditional English song, the people and landscape of her native Sussex, and an unwavering sense of artistic integrity. <i>All in the Downs</i> pays tribute to these passions, and in doing so, illustrates a way of life as old as England, that has all but vanished from this land.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nShirley Collins MBE  is a renowned folk singer who has recorded over 20 albums, and the author of <em>America Over the Water</em> (2004). She is the president of the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London. Her critically lauded album <i>Lodestar</i>, released in 2016, marked a triumphant return to performance after thirty eight years.

Yeats\r\n\r\nWritings that shed new light on one of the most gifted, if reclusive, poets of the<em> fin-de-siècle</em>.\r\n\r\nA lost poet of the decadent era, Lionel Johnson is the shadow man of the 1890s, an enigma “pale as wasted golden hair.” History has all but forgotten Johnson, except as a footnote to the lives of more celebrated characters like W. B. Yeats and Oscar Wilde.\r\n\r\nJohnson should have been one of the great poets of the age but was already drinking eau-de-cologne for kicks while a teenager at Winchester College. His attraction to absinthe damaged his fragile health and cast him forever into a waking dream of haunted rooms and spectral poetry. A habitual insomniac, he haunted medieval burial grounds after dark, jotting down the epitaphs of the gone-too-young, as if anticipating his own early demise at the age of 35—falling from a bar stool in a Fleet Street pub.\r\n\r\nIt was rumored that Johnson performed “strange religious rites” in his rooms at Oxford and experimented with hashish in the company of fellow poet Ernest Dowson. Moving to London, he fell in with Simeon Solomon, Oscar Wilde, and Aubrey Beardsley, and would contribute to the leading decadent publications of the day, including <em>The Chameleon</em>, <em>The Yellow Book</em>, and <em>The Savoy</em>.\r\n\r\nLike a glimmering of a votive candle in one of Johnson\'s dream churches, I ncurable sheds new light on one of the most gifted, if reclusive, poets of the <em>fin-de-siècle</em>. Containing a detailed biographical essay, illustrations, rare and unusual material including previously unseen letters, poetry, and essays, <em>Incurable</em> pays tribute to this enchanting and eccentric poet while providing fresh insight into an era that continues to fascinate.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Incurable','PB/HB 216pp\r\n190mm x 125mm\r\n£25.00 / £14.99','inherit','closed','closed','','6153-revision-v1','','','2019-01-21 11:14:26','2019-01-21 11:14:26','',6153,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6153-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6237,2,'2019-02-18 09:27:27','2019-02-18 09:27:27','<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/MP_AI.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5005\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/MP_AI-268x300.jpg\" alt=\"MP_AI\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" /></a><strong>BY STEPHEN THROWER</strong>\r\n<strong> WITH JULIAN GRAINGER</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>432PP, HB  PLUS 32 PAGES OF COLOUR</strong>\r\n<strong> 268.8 X 240 MM</strong>\r\n<strong> £40 / £50</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/murderous-passions/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>BUY HERE</strong></span></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>We will be reprinting <em>Murderous Passions</em> in May 2019 - in full colour!</strong>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><del>The book is available in two editions from SAP:• Signed and numbered <strong>Special Edition</strong>, <em>below</em>, limited to 300 copies, in a cloth, foil blocked cover with inserted colour plate, plus limited 7\" vinyl disc of Franco music and a postcard set.</del></p>\r\n<del>The single contains three tracks from <em>La Comtesse Perverse </em>and<em> Le Journal Intime dune Nymphomane</em>,  all by Roger Davy.</del>\r\n\r\n<strong>Standard Edition </strong>- with colour cover from <em>Female Vampire</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Currently out of print, but we are planning a reprint of the standard edition for late 2018. </strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\" size-full wp-image-5118 aligncenter\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/MP-special.jpg\" alt=\"MP-special\" width=\"600\" height=\"367\" />\r\n\r\nJesús ‘Jess\' Franco is an iconic figure in world cinema. His sexually charged, fearlessly personal style of filmmaking has never been in vogue with mainstream critics, but for lovers of the strange and sado-erotic he is a magician, spinning his unique and disturbing dream worlds from the cheapest of budgets.\r\n\r\nIn the world of Jess Franco freedom was the key, and he pushed at the boundaries of taste and censorship over and over again, throughout an astonishingly varied career spanning sixty years. The director of more than 180 films, at his most prolific he reached a supercharged frenzy that yielded as many as twelve films per year, making him one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time.\r\n\r\nFranco was the winner of a Lifetime Achievement prize at the 2009 Spanish Goya Film Awards, but his appeal does not depend upon mainstream respect; instead fans around the world have embraced his cinema, first on video and then more and more frequently on DVD and Blu-Ray. Where once he was castigated for slapdash haste, many fans today not only accept but even revel in the rough edges of his work. His delirious improvisations and raw, punkish spontaneity turn the basics of popular cinema, sex and violence, into a whirl of sensations, a seductive and bewitching spectacle that could only be the work of one man.\r\n\r\nFranco’s taste for the sexy and horrific, his lifelong obsession with the Marquis De Sade and his roving hand-held camera style birthed a whole new strain of erotic cinema. Disturbing, exciting and defiantly avant-garde, films such as <em>Necronomicon</em>, <em>Vampyros Lesbos</em>, <em>Virgin Among the Living Dead</em> and <em>Venus in Furs</em> are among the jewels of European horror, while a plethora of multiple versions, re-edits and echoes of earlier works turn the Franco experience into a dizzying hall of mirrors, further entrancing the viewer who dares enter Franco’s domain.\r\n\r\nStephen Thrower has devoted five years to examining each and every Franco film. This book – the first in a two-volume set – delves into the first half of Franco’s career: from his avant-garde comedy <em>Tenemos 18 año</em>s in 1959, through the groundbreaking surgical horror story <em>The Awful Dr. Orlof</em> and the art-horror masterpiece <em>Necronomicon</em>, to his grisly psycho-killer opus <em>Exorcism</em> in 1974. Ably assisted by the esteemed critic and researcher Julian Grainger, Thrower shines a light into the darkest corners of the Franco filmography and uncovers previously unknown and unsuspected facts about their casts, crews and production histories.\r\n\r\nUnparalleled in scope and ambition, <em>Murderous Passions</em> brings Franco’s career into focus in a landmark study that aims to provide the definitive assessment of Jess Franco’s labyrinthine film universe.\r\n\r\n<em>Stephen Thrower is the acclaimed author of Beyond Terror: the films of Lucio Fulci and the ground-breaking Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents.</em>','Murderous Passions','464pp, HB\r\n268 x 240 mm\r\n£40 /£50 + P&P','inherit','closed','closed','','5004-revision-v1','','','2019-02-18 09:27:27','2019-02-18 09:27:27','',5004,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/5004-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6239,2,'2019-03-04 13:59:56','2019-03-04 13:59:56','<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/high-weirdness/\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6240\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/High-Weirdness.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"465\" /></a>\r\n<em>Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies</em>\r\n\r\nby Erik Davis\r\n£20 /£25\r\nPB, 560pp\r\n148mm x 210mm\r\n23 b/w illustrations\r\nISBN: 9781907222870\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000; caret-color: #000000;\">Co-published with, and distributed by, <strong><a href=\"https://mitp-web.mit.edu/books/high-weirdness\">The MIT Press</a></strong>\r\n</span><b><span style=\"color: #000000; caret-color: #000000;\">\r\n</span></b><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\">A </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">limited <span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\">edition </span></span><span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\">of 50 copies sold directly by</span></span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\"> SAP will feature </span><i style=\"caret-color: #000000;\">Peaks</i>, a 16-page chapbook of additional material, a signed book plate and a <span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\">unique sew-on cloth</span> patch, both designed by Arik Roper.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/high-weirdness/\">BUY IT HERE</a></strong></span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://read.amazon.co.uk/kp/embed?asin=B07Z5PLLT4&amp;preview=newtab&amp;linkCode=kpe&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_18j-DbJXGCNZA&amp;tag=stranattra-21\">Ebook also available<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #333333;\"> </span></span></a>\r\n\r\n<b><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/high-weirdness/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6304\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-6304\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/HW-Peakscover-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"341\" /></a></b>\r\n\r\nAn exploration of the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality in the work of Philip K.

Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson, <b>High Weirdness</b> charts the emergence of a new psychedelic worldview out of the American counterculture of the seventies.

The best of Faunus blows smoke towards the space he occupies invisibly and attempts to extrapolate his exact shape from hollows in a moving cloud.\" </em>Stewart Lee</div>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;\">For twenty years, <em>Faunus</em>, the biannual journal of the Friends of Arthur Machen, has been publishing an astonishing range of scholarship, debate, archival material, and esoterica relating to the writer H. P. Lovecraft described as a “modern master of the weird tale.”</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;\">Arthur Machen (1863–1947) was not only an author of weird and decadent horror fiction lauded by Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro (among many others); he was also a journalist and essayist who, over decades, produced a vast body of nonfiction on subjects ranging from High Church theology to \"the truth about curry\". This anthology gathers some of the highlights of <em>Faunus</em>, from its very first issue to its most recent. Subjects include the Great War, the Celtic Church, the “real” little people, Machen and Modernism, Machen and the occult, and myriad other investigations into Machen\'s life and legacy.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;\">With a new introduction by long-term Friend of Arthur Machen member Stewart Lee, the book makes newly available reprints of rare pieces by Machen himself as well as items from the <em>Faunus</em> archive by writers including Tessa Farmer, Rosalie Parker, Ray Russell, Mark Samuels, and Mark Valentine.</span>\r\n\r\n<footer>\r\n<div class=\"contain gutters\"></div>\r\n</footer>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Faunus: The Decorative Imagination Of Arthur

This anthology gathers some of the highlights of <em>Faunus</em>, from its very first issue to its most recent.

He is the author of the forthcoming book <i>High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies, </i>and his work has been translated into nearly a dozen languages He explores the “cultures of consciousness” on his weekly podcast Expanding Mind, and earned his PhD in Religious Studies from Rice University.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Peter Bebergal &amp;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span></b><b>Gareth Branwyn*</b> – <em>Gaming in The Occult Imagination</em>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"gmail-_5yl5\">Peter and Gareth will discuss their current collaboration, <em>The Path of Enchantment: A Magical Role-playing Game</em>. </span>The two will describe gaming in the occult imagination, the inspirations and ideas behind the game book, and demonstrate some of the operations they are developing for it, including generating Solomonic-like planetary sigils and constructing and conjuring spiritual creatures <span class=\"gmail-_5yl5\">using traditional role-playing game dice.</span>\r\n\r\nPeter Bebergal is the author of<em> Strange Frequencies: The Extraordinary Story of the Technological Quest for the Supernatural</em> and<em> Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll</em>, among others.

Her writing ranges from modern Druidry to the politics of the British Earth Mysteries movement and the influence of the New Right in Neopaganism.

Along the way, Davis maps the uncanny lattice of culture and consciousness that characterized America’s West Coast at a time of radical technological, political, and social change. What results is a new theory of the weird that illuminates the seventies, while providing for a renewed engagement with reality during our own highly weird times.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/high-weirdness/?fbclid=IwAR1cwKKmWbDVWn8KQq6sG0WJjbhhYPE45U9ywM9ZTcwdSLg5FUxN-L4XBWU\"><strong>Pre-order the special edition now</strong></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','High Weirdness','Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies\r\nby Erik Davis\r\nHB, 560pp','inherit','closed','closed','','6239-revision-v1','','','2019-03-27 17:43:19','2019-03-27 17:43:19','',6239,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6239-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6308,2,'2019-04-01 12:45:02','2019-04-01 12:45:02','<a href=\"http://londonmonthofthedead.com/endymionsdream.html\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6310\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6310\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/endymionsdream_sap3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"472\" height=\"344\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAn event in association with the <a href=\"http://londonmonthofthedead.com/endymionsdream.html\">London Month of the Dead </a>at London\'s Brompton Cemetery.\r\n\r\n<span class=\"titles\"><strong>ENDYMION\'S DREAM</strong></span>\r\n<span class=\"italics\">A Celebration of Steve Moore with Alan Moore, John Higgs and Andrew O\'Neill - Saturday 4th May 2019 at 3:00 pm\r\n</span>\r\n\r\nIn March 2014, British comics lost one of its most innovative and and original voices in the form of Steve Moore.

His sexually charged, fearlessly personal style of filmmaking has never been in vogue with mainstream critics, but for lovers of the strange and sado-erotic he is a magician, spinning his unique and disturbing dream worlds from the cheapest of budgets.\r\n\r\nIn the world of Jess Franco freedom was the key, and he pushed at the boundaries of taste and censorship over and over again, throughout an astonishingly varied career spanning sixty years. The director of more than 180 films, at his most prolific he reached a supercharged frenzy that yielded as many as twelve films per year, making him one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time.\r\n\r\nFranco was the winner of a Lifetime Achievement prize at the 2009 Spanish Goya Film Awards, but his appeal does not depend upon mainstream respect; instead fans around the world have embraced his cinema, first on video and then more and more frequently on DVD and Blu-Ray. Where once he was castigated for slapdash haste, many fans today not only accept but even revel in the rough edges of his work. His delirious improvisations and raw, punkish spontaneity turn the basics of popular cinema, sex and violence, into a whirl of sensations, a seductive and bewitching spectacle that could only be the work of one man.\r\n\r\nFranco’s taste for the sexy and horrific, his lifelong obsession with the Marquis De Sade and his roving hand-held camera style birthed a whole new strain of erotic cinema.

His sexually charged, fearlessly personal style of filmmaking has never been in vogue with mainstream critics, but for lovers of the strange and sado-erotic he is a magician, spinning his unique and disturbing dream worlds from the cheapest of budgets.\r\n\r\nIn the world of Jess Franco freedom was the key, and he pushed at the boundaries of taste and censorship over and over again, throughout an astonishingly varied career spanning sixty years. The director of more than 180 films, at his most prolific he reached a supercharged frenzy that yielded as many as twelve films per year, making him one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time.\r\n\r\nFranco was the winner of a Lifetime Achievement prize at the 2009 Spanish Goya Film Awards, but his appeal does not depend upon mainstream respect; instead fans around the world have embraced his cinema, first on video and then more and more frequently on DVD and Blu-Ray. Where once he was castigated for slapdash haste, many fans today not only accept but even revel in the rough edges of his work. His delirious improvisations and raw, punkish spontaneity turn the basics of popular cinema, sex and violence, into a whirl of sensations, a seductive and bewitching spectacle that could only be the work of one man.\r\n\r\nFranco’s taste for the sexy and horrific, his lifelong obsession with the Marquis De Sade and his roving hand-held camera style birthed a whole new strain of erotic cinema. Disturbing, exciting and defiantly avant-garde, films such as <em>Necronomicon</em>, <em>Vampyros Lesbos</em>, <em>Virgin Among the Living Dead</em> and <em>Venus in Furs</em> are among the jewels of European horror, while a plethora of multiple versions, re-edits and echoes of earlier works turn the Franco experience into a dizzying hall of mirrors, further entrancing the viewer who dares enter Franco’s domain.\r\n\r\nStephen Thrower has devoted five years to examining each and every Franco film.

A passionate believer in artistic and sexual freedom, he constantly tested the boundaries of taste and censorship during an extraordinary career spanning sixty years and more than 170 films.\r\n\r\nHis delirious spontaneity turned the raw basics of popular cinema – sex and violence – into an avant-garde whirl of sensations. Franco’s taste for the kinky and horrific, his idiosyncratic visual style, and his lifelong obsession with the Marquis de Sade, birthed a whole new strain of erotica.\r\n\r\nFilms like <em>Succubus</em>, <em>Vampyros Lesbos</em>, <em>A Virgin Among the Living Dead</em> and <em>The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein</em> throw out the rulebook and reinvent genre cinema, while even his weakest efforts exude something strange and wild amid the chaos. Meanwhile, multiple international variants turn the Franco filmography into a dizzying hall of mirrors, entrancing for the aficionado but confusing for beginners – until now.\r\n\r\nOriginally published in 2015,  <em>Murderous Passions</em> delves into Franco’s career from 1953 to 1974 (a second volume, <a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/flowers-of-perversion/\">Flowers of Perversion</a>, covers 1975 to 2013).
