“highly recommend”—New York Daily News; “Weaver is a master at the interview technique”—Midnight Marquee; “Tom Weaver has enjoyed a lengthy career writing about the horror genre through his reference guides and countless magazine contributions. His interviews are thorough and informative but presented conversationally, as though he is simply visiting with an old friend. Weaver expertly guides the talk in a way that allows him to ask his questions in an informal manner, and likely he received a more detailed answer than if he had approached the subject as a journalist would”—horrortalk.com; “Weaver’s books are sheer delight”—Cult Movies; “like all the rest (and future) Weaver books Attack is an excellent addition to any cool film library”—Fatal Visions; “[the] anecdotes are frank and revealing”—Video Watchdog; “Tom Weaver is the king of film historians”—Starlog; “valuable”—Classic Images; “well written and interesting...fascinating and insightful interviews...fascinating...the interviews are all interesting and give many behind-the-scene looks at the film production...highly recommended”—WFOS-FM.
