“a welcome focus upon the collected film work of [Cushing]”—Choice; “a fascinating filmography...will be of great interest”—ARBA; “I thoroughly enjoyed it. They wrote with a lot of love and honesty about their subject, and have done some fine research, producing one of the best books on Hammer Films I’ve read...a fine piece of work, produced with much diligent research and affection by the authors. Highly recommended”—Destructive Music; “long overdue...complete and definitive”—Psychotronic.
