As children, we fall in love with monsters, and age often fails to dim that freakish fascination. As adults, we examine our youthful passions with a cold eye, but the awful truth remains: we are eternally "Monster Kids." Musings on Monsters, from the editors of Somewhere Beyond the Heavens: Exploring Battlestar Galactica and From Bayou to Abyss: Examining John Constantine, Hellblazer, gathers together a murderer's row of writers to open the crypt of our childhoods and shine a ray of moonlight on all the creatures, creeps, and crazies of those bygone days of classic horror. So beware, for such fiends as Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, Godzilla, the Cat People, Barnabas Collins, zombies, and even the Devil himself lurk within these pages, scrutinized by experts in the field of monsterism and laid out on the slab for thorough reflections on their supernatural powers to mesmerize children and adults alike. Join us, won't you? Don't be afraid - your ghoulish guides through this nightmarish landscape are at your side... unless, of course, you step off the path. Edited by Rich Handley and Lou Tambone; foreword by Jim Beard; essays by Samuel Agro, Corinna Bechko, Joseph F. Berenato, Joe Bongiorno, Greg Cox, Kelli Fitzpatrick, Glenn Greenberg, Rich Handley, Robert Jeschonek, Ross Johnson, Greg Mitchell, Robert Nejman, Charles Rutledge, Frank Schildiner, Robert Smith?, Matthew Sunrich, and Lou Tambone; and cover by Leah Battle.

British occultist John Constantine elevated Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, and it wasn't long before John had his own spinoff comic titled John Constantine: Hellblazer. This anthology, edited by Rich Handley and Lou Tambone (of Sequart's Somewhere Beyond the Heavens: Exploring Battlestar Galactica), examines the mage's history from his earliest appearances to the present - not only in Swamp Thing and Hellblazer, but on film and television as well - with a special foreword by none other than Hellblazer's creator himself, Jamie Delano.Constantine has a weakness for narcotics, alcohol, and sex; an unnatural obsession with the occult; and a long list of lovers he's betrayed, hurt, and discarded. He's slain his twin brother in the womb, taunted Satan, outwitted demons and angels, been trapped in Hell, and even fathered an elemental. No matter what the universe throws at him, he somehow always seems to come out on top... though his loved ones have usually ended up caught in the crossfire.At times, John can be a bastard. He has questionable hygiene and a lack of ethics, and he'll likely hurt anyone foolish enough to let him into their lives. But John is nonetheless a hero - well, a Byronic hero, in any case. As fans, we wouldn't have him any other way. The book features essays by Ade Brown, John E. Boylan, James Chambers, Julianne Clancy, Nancy A. Collins, Brian Cronin, Joseph Dilworth Jr., Sabrina Fried, Alex Galer, Richard Gray, Robert Greenberger, Rich Handley, Robert Jeschonek, Ross Johnson, Martín A. Pérez, Drasko Roganovic, Frank Schildiner, Tony Simmons, Lou Tambone, John Trumbull, James Wilkinson, and Genevieve Williams, with a cover by Leah Mangue.From Sequart Organization.

Glen A. Larson's Battlestar Galactica only lasted for a single season, yet it earned its place among the most beloved science-fiction shows of all time. In 2003, Ronald D. Moore reimagined the story. This new take proved hugely popular, revitalizing the once-niche franchise. Moore's Galactica successfully accomplished something few reboots of classic TV shows have ever managed to do: surpassing the original in scope and longevity. Like the Cylons, Galactica had evolved.Somewhere Beyond the Heavens: Exploring Battlestar Galactica, edited by Rich Handley and Lou Tambone, examines the entire mythos, both televised and published, from 40 different perspectives, just in time for the show's 40th anniversary. This anthology features insightful, analytical essays about Galactica's history, penned by popular comic historians, novelists, bloggers, subject-matter experts, and franchise insiders, including Corinna Bechko, Jeffrey A. Carver, Matthew J. Elliott, Robert Greenberger, Brandon Jerwa, Robert Jeschonek, John Kenneth Muir, Tony Simmons, and many more.
