Looking for that perfect Halloween gift to fill someone’s (witch’s) stocking? Well, look no further than horror Renaissance woman Jovanka Vuckovic’s slim volume of horror trivia, must-know info and fun, Vuckovic’s Horror Miscellany. Published this month by Ilex Press, Vuckovic’s book is chock-full of almost every kind of horror: from EC comics to “The Walking Dead to the world’s first horror movie to reading lists for Poe and Lovecraft to horror films with the highest body counts (bet you won’t guess which one is #1) to best taglines to, well, almost anything you can think of!
Easily read in one sitting, this book is one horror fans will return to over and over to refresh their memories when playing horror trivia games for the information Vuckovic has collected or just for the entertainment value.
Other entries in the book range from On the Origin of Horror – The Castle of Otranto, Edison’s Frankenstein, Jump Scares, Dario Argento, Godzilla Trivia, 13 Scariest Horror Video Games to Welcome to My Nightmare, Great Horror Sequels, The Exorcist, 10 Most Chilling “Twilight Zone” Episodes, “You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat”, Top 13 Vampire Films and so much more.
The amount of information Vuckovic has managed to include is amazing and only goes to show why she is one of the 13 Most Influential Women in Horror. She REALLY knows her stuff!
So get yourself a copy, sit back in your reading chair while the cold autumn winds howl outside your window and proceed to further educate yourself on the finer points of our beloved horror genre.
