We’ve had compendiums chronicling zombie movies, slasher flicks, and all manner of horrors. Thanks to Tooth and Claw: A Field Guide To “Nature Run Amok” Horror Movies, we finally have an all-encompassing book cataloging that wonderful sub-genre of horror about when animals attack.

Dan Whitehead is a name that might ring a bell for many online readers. A former editor of Movie Insider magazine and the Creature Corner horror website, he has also contributed to DVD & Blu-ray Review, The Onion AV Club, Big Issue, and Drafthouse Media’s Badass Digest and was a specialist consultant for Guinness World Records. Based in the UK, he is a member of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and sits on several of their juries. He’s also a man who loves his nature gone amok movies. So much so he’s authored a book on the subject that is now available for purchase. Better believe I’ve already ordered my copy.

From the Press Release
For the first time ever, every “nature run amok” horror movie in history collated, compiled and reviewed in one place!

From all-time classics such as The Birds and Jaws, through weird obscurities such as Godmonster of Indian Flats and Kiss of the Tarantula, and on to today’s CGI-assisted DTV movies and the cult of Birdemic, the animal kingdom – and the danger it poses to our soft human flesh – has been a recurring motif of horror cinema through the ages. Now author Dan Whitehead offers the complete reference guide to this popular sub-genre: Tooth and Claw: A Field Guide To “Nature Run Amok” Horror Movies.

With hundreds of entries across exhaustive chronological sections covering every possible species of animal from sinister serpents to aggressive arachnids and from ravenous reptiles to vicious vermin, this is a must-have reference book for horror movie fans everywhere. Movies have been sought out from around the world, collating Thai alligators, Mexican killer bears and Indian shark attacks alongside American movies both famous and infamous.

Each section is accompanied by an illustration from Doug Slack of Hard Boiled Horror Tales.

Tooth and Claw is available now in paperback from Amazon.com priced at $8.99 or as a Kindle eBook for $3.29.
