Beyond Terror: The Films of Lucio Fulci, by Stephen Thrower (Eibon Box Set). 2017 massive hardcover in a limited edition box, with 4 postcards & DVD. 440 pages, very nice condition.

An impressive set which includes the hardcover book (with a bonus interview chapter, not in other printings), 4 6”x8.25” postcards, and a DVD featuring a re-mastered collection of every known Lucio Fulci movie trailer.

Italy's Master of the Macabre Lucio Fulci is celebrated in this lavishly illustrated in-depth study of his extraordinary films. From horror masterpieces like The Beyond and Zombie Flesh-Eaters to erotic thrillers like One On Top of the Other and A Lizard in a Woman's Skin; from his earliest days as director of manic Italian comedies to his notoriety as purveyor of extreme violence in the terrifying slasher epic The New York Ripper, his whole career is explored.

Supernatural themes and weird logic collide with flesh-ripping gore to breathtaking effect. Bleak horrors are transformed into bloody poetry - Fulci's loving camera technique, and the decayed splendor of his art design, make the films more than just a gross endurance test. This is the ultimate testament to The Godfather of Gore. Featuring a foreword by Fulci's devoted daughter Antonella, and produced with her blessing and full co-operation. This book is quite simply the last word on Fulci. His whole career is studied in obsessive depth.

Huge supplementary appendices make this volume essential for all serious students of the Italian horror movie scene. Featuring COMPLETE FILMOGRAPHIES for ALL the major actors and actresses ever to appear in Fulci films, the appendices alone are a unique, breathtakingly detailed reference source in their own right. Without doubt, by far and away the largest collection of Fulci posters, stills, press-books and lobby cards ever seen together in print. This is a truly beautiful book.
