Born in a tiny attic theatre on a dark and stormy night in the summer of 1973, The Rocky Horror Show was an immediate hit with audiences and critics alike, and a much-needed shot in the arm for London's jaded theatre scene. Five decades on, Richard O'Brien's hilarious cross-dressing tribute to trashy sci-fi B-movies, sexual liberation, gothic horror and rock 'n' roll continues to pull in the crowds and attract legions of new fans, while the classic 1975 film version - the longest continually playing theatrical release in cinema history - generated an unparalleled cult following which took the concept of audience participation to unheard of levels of immersive engagement. Exhaustively researched - and now fully REVISED, UPDATED and EXPANDED - this book chronicles the extraordinary history, continued evolution and enduring legacy of this immortal tale of an amoral transvestite scientist, extraterrestrial subterfuge, corruption of the innocent and the creation of life. Incorporating a wealth of archival material, personal memories and interviews with contributors and participants from every era of Rocky Horror history, the authors explore the show's origins and influences; the creation of the original London stage production; the numerous national and international revivals; the making of the movie; and the fanatical fishnet following which continues to define the Rocky Horror experience. This edition has a 64 page Gallery of Black and White photographs of events, ephemera and other items and places of interest to fans of the Rocky Horror phenomenon. 'An intelligent and lovingly told tale ... I have found it to be a source of great pleasure' Richard O'Brien speaking about the book. 'A labour of love by the two authors, given the depth and breadth of knowledge contained within' Charles Packer, Sci-Fi Online (10/10) 'Superb' James Whittington, Horrorxtra 'Fantastic book. Full of facts and information. A must for any Rocky fan.' Cathy, Amazon review 'A VERY extensive book on the history of The Rocky Horror Show, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show ... It contains little known facts and trivia, even for those who are very knowledgeable about the show/film. Check it out, and antici...pate great things!' Alex, Amazon review 'Informative, anecdotal and filled with a lot of love for Rocky, it's perfect for any fan.' L J Valentine, Goodreads 'Beautifully researched and thoroughly entertaining. The book is full of droll anecdotes and witticisms, cleverly woven into a succinct and informative writing style. With as much (if not more) pastiche and cultural reference as it's beloved subject, Still The Beast is Feeding is not so much a companion, but more of a frequent lover to all things Rocky Horror.' Kieran Kimberley, Goodreads
