Format: Paperback
I love this book! It is a compendium of the best bits of the first decade of the 'Flesh & Blood' journal, which deals with adult cinema. What we have here are roughly fifty articles that cover all sorts of topics relating to horror and pornography films; Director articles and interviews, genre articles, individual film articles, censorship articles and several pages of reviews. This is an excellent read if you are interested in the alternative side of adult cinema and is perfect for dipping in to, for the subjects have been thoughtfully selected and arranged to ensure variety.
The book itself looks beautiful and is packed with great photography, all printed on high-quality, glossy paper. It is quite heavy also, which is a bonus because it makes you feel important when you hold it.
Here is a list of some of the articles included:

The Vulgar World of Tinto Brass
The British Trash Files
Peter Jackson: The Early Years
Jim Van Bebber and the Cult of Manson
A Different Point of View: The Jesse Franco interview
Reality & the Death Film
Norman J Warren

All great stuff, plus a lot of writing relating to the European and British adult underground. Wowee!

HASH(0x88b0a8e8) out of 5 stars NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS EXPECTING....... 27 May 2005
By Sealed Fate - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
this is a large,well-written book by people who obviously love the material and know the material.i had purchased it,never having had read the magazine which this book is a compilation of(i believe the first 10 issues?).

my interests are of the horror film genre and sub-genres,which this book includes.however,i was a bit disappointed in the amount of material pertaining to "adult" films.having no real interest in that area(particularly on an intellectual level),i found a large portion of this book dull.

so,for those familiar with the source material will find this of no surprise.to those who are new to "Flesh and Blood",be warned of what "flesh" they are refering too

HASH(0x88b0a948) out of 5 stars Sex + Death = Lovely Book 14 Jan. 2006
By rottenbook - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a gorgous and informative book about cult sex & horror films. Like all of the Fab Press books, it's overflowing with fantastic photographs on every page, many of them in color. If nothing else, the pictures will keep you entertained for hours. Beyond that, the text is also great -- a hodgepodge of critical essays, interviews with directors, and film reviews. If you enjoy films like Dellamorte Dellamore, I Spit on Your Grave, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, etc., you will love this book.

HASH(0x88b0aa08) out of 5 stars For Film Lovers 21 Sept. 2013
By Doug Brunell - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I know other reviews have bemoaned the fact that there is a lot of "adult" film material covered within this books many pages, but look at the title. It covers it right there. If you are a fan of film, especially horror and the more artistic adult films, there is no reason why you should not own this book. FAB Press has yet to publish an absolute bomb, and this is definitely one of the feathers in its proverbial cap. It has a wealth of information, excellent interviews and some great photos. I proudly display it in the film section of my library, and usually anyone who is over at the Compound (a rarity as I don't allow a lot of people in) have taken a look at it and are either intrigued or appalled.

HASH(0x88efa1b0) out of 5 stars Gorehounds will be bored with this book 29 Mar. 2007
By Gerry Hathaway - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Well, what can I say. I love horror and all things gory. Unfortunatley this book has more porn in it than the red red kroovy. Fab Press is wonderful and they put together a great book, so if cheesy wierd porns are your bag then this book is for you. The few sections on horror films are great though. However, Book Of The Dead stands as the best Fab Press release.
