I am pleased to announce that I will be contributing an essay to a book entitled Cutting Edge, edited by the amazing Jay Slater. Cutting Edge is a collection of reviews and critical essays of some of the seminal horror films through history.   I’m honored to be discussing one of my favorite under-appreciated films – Erle Kenton’s Island of Lost Souls, the first and best attempt to bring Wells’ Island of Dr. Moreau to the screen, with Charles Laughton playing the brilliantly amoral scientist.
