The Illustrated Stephen King Movie Guide
For the past three decades Stephen King has been one of the world’s bestselling novelists, as well as cinema’s most frequently adapted author. Now, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s classic Carrie, the very first movie adaptation of King’s work, award-winning author Stephen Jones has produced the definitive illustrated guide to every film and television production taken from the work of this master storyteller, complete with original interview material with King himself.
Inside Creepshows you will find a candid look at each and every Stephen King movie, sequel and spin-off, all complete with major cast and credit information, along with television adaptations, stage shows, radio plays and computer games and details of unproduced and forthcoming projects. In fact, everything you could possibly want to know, including in-depth coverage of classic films -and fan favourites like Carrie, Salem’s Lot, The Shining, Creepshow, The Dead Zone, Christine, Stand By Me, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, Dolores Claiborne and The Green Mile.
Profusely illustrated with numerous rare posters, photographs and book covers, and featuring extensive quotes from many of the key people who worked on these projects -including exclusive contributions from Mick Garris, Frank Darabont, Harlan Ellison, Peter Straub, Bernie Wrightson and, of course, Stephen King himself - Creepshows is a book no Stephen King fan can afford to be without!

British Pbk Original - Constable & Robinson (2001)
Buy at Amazon.co.uk The Mammoth Book of Vampire Stories by Women
Edited by Stephen Jones
Introduced by Ingrid Pitt
‘Fashions change, and the urbane vampire created by Byron and cemented in place by Stoker has had to move on . . Are you, like me, ready for the new dusk?’ Ingrid Pitt
Collected together far the first time are 34 uncanny and erotic tales of vampires, written by some of supernatural fiction’s greatest mistresses of the macabre. From the classic stories of Edith Nesbit, Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, to modern incarnations by such acclaimed writers as Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy Kilpatrick, Tanith Lee, Caitlin R.Kernan and Pat Cadigan, these blood-drinkers and soul-stealers range from the sexual to the sanguinary, from the tormented good to the unspeakably evil.
Among these children of the night you will encounter Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s Byronic vampire Saint-Germain, Nancy A. Collins’ undead heroine Sonja Blue, Tanya Huff’s vampiric detective Vicki Nelson and Freda Warrington’s age-old lovers Karl and Charlotte.
Featuring the only vampire short story written by Anne Rice, the undisputed queen of vampire literature, and boasting an autobiographical introduction and original tale by Ingrid Pitt, the star of Hammer Film’s the Vampire Lovers and Countess Dracula, this is one anthology from which every vampire fan will want to drink deep.

About The Author
STEPHEN JONES has won more awards for editing horror and fantasy than anyone else in the field. He is the winner of two world Fantasy Awards, three Horror Writers of America Bram Stoker Awards and two International Horror Guild Awards as well as being an eleven-time recipient of the British Fantasy Award and Hugo Award nominee. A full time columnist, TV producer/director, he has edited and written more than 40 books.
Stephen was born in Pimlico in 1953 and developed a keen interest in horror and fantasy whilst still at school. In 1972 he joined a film production company and started directing and producing TV commercials and documentaries. At this time he joined the British Fantasy Society and became a contributor to their publications. This cosy balance of TV work and hobby changed in 1986, when he interviewed the film director John Carpenter who suggested that he should become a unit publicist for film productions. As a result he worked on Clive Barker's HELLRAISER (1987) and various other movies. At the same time during a British Fantasy Convention he met Nick Robinson, who had just started his own book publishing imprint, and he was persuaded to become co-editor of his first published book THE BEST HORROR AND FANTASY TALES (1988). This has been followed by a flurry of publishing activity with a huge list of published credits. He lives in West London.
