About this Item

This is a brand new copy of the Trade Hardcover Edition but has a few very slight imperfections: two corners that are each just barely bumped, one long but very faint scuff mark on the back cover and one very faint stain in the upper right corner of the back cover. Otherwise, the book and dust jacket are both in As-New condition. Smoke and Mirrors is a terrific but terrifying collection of horror scripts for screen plays, teleplays, stage plays, and the like, featuring works of writers including Neil Gaiman, William Peter Blatty, Joe Hill, William F. Nolan, Poppy Z. Brite and others. We will pack it in bubble-wrap and ship it in a sturdy box to ensure safe delivery. Seller Inventory # ABH424

About this title

Synopsis:

Cemetery Dance Publications is proud to announce Smoke and Mirrors, a collection of screenplays, teleplays, stage plays, comic scripts, and treatments by thirteen masters of horror and fantasy. This deluxe oversized book reproduces the scripts exactly as they were written in the author's own formatting. This special edition will feature a deluxe 9 X 12 trimsize!

Just a few of the highlights include a never before seen comic script from Joe Hill; two rare teleplays from Frank Darabont; an original, never filmed full-length screenplay by Mick Garris; a rare teleplay and treatment by William Peter Blatty; Neil Gaiman's original take on an H.G. Wells' short story; Joe R. Lansdale's stage adaptation of one of his legendary short stories; and much, much more!

This Cemetery Dance Publications special edition is a World's First and there are no other editions planned at this time, so place your order today if you don't want to miss out!

Tales of horror and the fantastic have been told in many ways over the centuries ‹ around the campfire, on the stage, in books and movies, and even on television ‹ but no form is quite so visceral and direct as the script.

Whether it's a stage play, a feature film screenplay, or the script for a classic horror comic, these acclaimed authors aren't just putting black text on a white page. The writing may seem clean and simple at first, but the authors are actually creating worlds; they're luring you into their creations and before you know it, there's no way out. You're part of the story and you have to keep turning the pages until you reach "The End" or "Fade Out."

The big question is: will you survive to see the final curtain call?

Come now, take your seat, and let the show begin. You have nothing to fear but your own imagination.
