The End: cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two great reviews of The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology<\/I> have been published this month: <\/p>\n

In the US magazine Cineaste<\/A>, Mikita Brottman says: “What these essays all share is a certain sensibility – an informed, intelligent, playful, and slightly offbeat tone that is characteristic of Electric Sheep’s articles, reviews, podcasts and blog. This appealing, 250-page volume is beautifully designed. The essays are illustrated not only with stills from various films, but also with fabulous black-and-white illustrations.” <\/p>\n

On the Critics’ Circle website<\/A>, Laurence Boyce writes: “It’s this eclectic nature of both writing styles and design (the book is excellently laid out with some nicely illustrated pieces and a lovely end essay\/poem dedicated to Bill Morrison’s Decasia) that make it such a fun and worthwhile [read]. Passionate yet informed about cinema, it makes one hope that The End does not live up to its name and that another volume is one the way.”<\/p>\n

From the gutter to the avant-garde, The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology<\/em> brings together a mind-bendingly eclectic programme of films, authors, artists and directors, including Bill Morrison’s chemical ghosts, the bad girls of 50s exploitation films, apocalyptic evangelical cinema, the human centipede, Spanish zombies, Japanese nihilists, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s lost masterpiece Inferno<\/em> and Ingmar Bergman’s visions of the end. A must-read for all film lovers and those who like to wander off the beaten cultural track!<\/p>\n

To buy the book, go to the Strange Attractor website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read ‘Darkness Audible: Sub-bass, tape decay and Lynchian noise’<\/a> by Frances Morgan with illustrations by Lisa Claire Magee.<\/B><\/p>\n
