Bonus Reviews

Occasionally I may add a bonus review of an associated book to the end of a film review. The reason may be that the book doesn’t warrant a full review of its own, because most has been said in the film review, or because it just seems to work that way. The following links are to film reviews, with bonus book reviews at the end of the blog entry.


Dracula, novelisation of the 1992 film
The Second Hammer Horror Film Omnibus
