'Grab your gun and bring in the cat ... Boom, boom, boom!' Battlestar Galactica was one of the most successful telefantasy revivals of the early 2000s, gaining the approval of high-profile critics and a host of devoted fans, and continuing to inspire discussion and debate long after its final episode aired. In this book, Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore use behind-the-scenes production material and in-depth analyses of screened episodes and draft scripts to trace the complete history of the reimagined series. They explore how it updated concepts introduced in the original 1978 series to present a television drama that interweaves political and religious themes into the traditional space-opera format in a way that is highly relevant to the 21st Century viewer. Like the original series, reimagined Battlestar Galactica poses difficult questions about the legitimacy of war, the value of love, the perils of leadership and, ultimately, what it means to be human. With a foreword by Matthew Bennett, who played Aaron Doral, Cylon Number Five, in the series.

In short, this book contains everything a fan would ever need to know about the original incarnation of the Transformers.Whether you're a long-time devotee with a collection of battered old comics and VHS tapes, or a newcomer encountering the early years of the franchise for the first time through more recently-issued trade paperback reprints and DVDs, there is something here for everyone!

Chicago Chronicle's ace reporter Hank Janson is back on the case as he is sent to investigate a bomb blast at an apartment and gets caught up in a web of intrigue and deception. The apartment's owner, the headstrong, independent young woman Beryl Pinder, gives Hank more trouble than he bargained for, as he finds himself having to save her - and himself! - from a series of murder attempts. With their erotic pin-up covers and hardboiled crime tales, the Hank Janson pulp paperback novels were a British publishing sensation in the 1940s and 1950s, selling millions of copies to readers craving escapism from post-war austerity. Prosecutions under Britain's then-harsh obscenity laws dealt them a severe blow, however, and today they are highly sought-after by collectors. When it first appeared in March 1952, this book was the final entry in the third series of classic Hank Janson novels. It is reissued here complete with its striking original Reginald Heade cover art.

I opened my eyes. I wasn't dreaming. I was awake. And right beside me, Jennifer was panting and moaning and bouncing up and down on the bed. I stared harder into the darkness, chilled with fright, and against the dim gray light that filtered in through the closely-drawn drapes, I saw an outline on top of Jennifer that made me cram my hand into my mouth to stop myself from screaming. It was a huge, bulky outline, as dark as sin. But its eyes glowed slanted and orange, like the eyes of a wolf, and on its head were two curved horns. It stank of stale incense and animal sweat, and it was grunting with grotesque delight. When businessman Hunter Peal decided to run for President of the USA, they said he didn't have a chance in Hell ... but they were wrong. Initially he seemed pleasant and moderate ... but then everything started to change. As his popularity grew, so did his ability to influence people, sending them weeping to their knees, and seeing sights which no cameras could capture. And what of his opponents and the strange 'accidents' which befel them? Indeed, Hunter Peal was not the man he once was ... one of the denizens of Hell has made a pact with him, and on his inauguration, all Hell will be let loose. Literally. Telos Publishing is proud to present a superb new edition of this long out-of-print 1981 novel. A horrific tale of lust and greed and power from one of the genre's greatest writers, Graham Masterton. 'If you like horror novels, the kind that make you catch your breath at certain parts, can change your perception of the temperature in the room and leave you with impressions that can't be unseen for days - if ever - then this is your book. It really is an absolute masterpiece and in my opinion one of the weirdest, most twisted horror tales ever told, where the message, "Be careful who you vote for" really makes a hell of a lot of sense.' Cat DeSpira, Retrobitch

'The narrative's hectic pace leaves the reader hungry for the next instalment as the story unfolds with some surprising twists. Just when the reader thinks the story might drift into a predictable avenue, Stone turns up the heat and surprises us with a sucker-punch.'

Look ... Look ... Listen! You might learn somefink. This is the story of Till Death Us Do Part, the most controversial, most influential sitcom ever made for television. It is the story of a family at war - with each other, with the world, with religion, with royalty, with politics, with the BBC, with everything. Whilst battles were spectacularly fought on screen, the campaigns and skirmishes continued behind the scenes, the conflicts just as explosive, just as vitriolic. In ten years, the Garnetts assailed the boundaries of taste, battered the limits of respectability, and laid waste the bits in between. It is the story of 1436 "bloodies," 79 "silly moos," three continents, two threatened prosecutions for blasphemy and a dog called Pickles. There's an abundance of arguments, attitude, aggression and alcohol. There's lots of language, litigation and late scripts. There's plenty of anecdotes of life imitating art imitating life, leading to the ridiculous idea of the "randy Scouse git" becoming our former PM's father-in-law. Yes, this book has the bloody lot. "Dirty, blasphemous and full of bad language" Mary Whitehouse "Quite the worst programme I have seen during family viewing time" Mary Whitehouse

Peter Driben was one of the most prolific, and certainly one of the best, cover artists to work on the risqué 'girlie pulp' magazines that flourished in the USA between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. This meticulously-researched, lavishly-illustrated book - now in a revised and expanded edition - is a glorious celebration of his work, and an absolutely essential addition to the bookshelves of anyone with a taste for classic pin-up and magazine cover artwork.
