About the Author

Marcus K. Harmes lectures at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia, and is author of Doctor Who and the Art of Adaptation and numerous studies on British and European horror and science fiction.

Reviews

Well-written and thoroughly researched, Marcus K. Harmes' excellent study is a testament to the enduring appeal and enthusiasm for The Curse of Frankenstein, and leaves room for other individual examinations of Hammer's classic output from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
*Exquisite Terror*

Harmes definitively establishes the decades-long impact of The Curse of Frankenstein on the gothic horror film genre.
