Described hard but fairly and honestly. Internally the book is superb,it's just the exterior presentation that slightly degrades it.Uncommon and still an acceptable example though. 'Nightbreed',based on his bestselling novel,'CABAL',is the latest film (then 1990) from the astonishing imagination of the multi-talented writer and director Clive Barker. CLIVE BARKER'S NIGHTBREED - illustrated throughout with original sketches, storyboards,designs for sets and monsters, and photographs taken during filming - shows how the writer's vision is brought to the screen. Clive Barker's foreword reveals his fascination with the horror genre,while his screenplay allows us to experience the terror of the film itself.In a special introduction by Mark Salisbury and John Gilbert (who was once,himself,the editor of the late FEAR magazine),the concept behind the film is examined and actors, producers and designers talk about Nightbreed - destined to become a classic of cine-fantastique.
