Beginning next year, movie studios plan to begin phasing out renting 35mm prints of vintage movies to theaters, forcing revival theaters to show them in digital format only. This is not how these classic films were meant to be seen, at the push of a sterile button, in a non film format, and many classic films will also fall by the wayside and become lost films - there is an online petition to hopefully stop this by following the link to Fight For 35MM Films...] Thanks to Julia Marchese, New Beverly Cinema and Dark City.

Thank-You,


This month I plan to invite an author who so happen to write about dark, noirish, subjects (It just so happens to tie-in with the “noirish” theme started by Marilyn, The Self-Styled Siren, Greg Ferrara, and author Eddie Muller…Continuing with Maurizio Roca, Film noir countdown) …I would go so far as to call his (author Heath Lowrance) subject matters…"Psycho-Noir."


Here Goes The Editorial Reviews Over There On Amazon…
“In the storied waking-up-into-a-nightmare pulp tradition, Heath Lowrance’s The Bastard Hand reads is a lurid thrill. You will finish it in one frenzied sitting, then feel as if you’re awakening from a red-misted trance.” –Megan Abbott, author of Bury Me Deep

“A bastard of a good book. If you like Flannery O’Connor and Jim Thompson, you’re going to love this.” –Allan Guthrie, author of Slammer

“Mean, tough, lurid, intense, and entirely engaging, this novel is a must read for all fans of the hard-boiled genre.” –Vincent Zandri, author of Moonlight Falls

“The Bastard Hand by Heath Lowrance grabs you by the lapels and drags you on a wild, wild bar crawl that leaves you battered and bruised at the gates of hell. Like Jim Thompson jamming with Robert Johnson and Nick Cave on the eve of the apocalypse.” –Paul D. Brazil, Pulp Metal Magazine he Product Description…


Charlie Wesley is not right in the head. He’s escaped from a mental hospital up north and hitchhiked his way south, the voice of his dead brother urging him on. But when Charlie hits Memphis, the fine line between his delusions and reality shift in the form of the Reverend Phineas Childe-a preacher bent on booze and women; a Man of God with a dark agenda. Charlie is the perfect pawn in the Reverend’s game of retribution. And the small North Mississippi town of Cuba Landing will be the setting for the Reverend’s very personal Apocalypse. . . .

…So want you please join me April 05, 2011…as I discuss with author Heath Lowrance, his new book…“Bastard Hand” over there at... "Wonders In The Dark."
…According To author Heath Lowrance..." Here's the trailer for The “Bastard Hand” finished today. Ron Warren put it together, and Nat Pike (one of the most versatile musicians on Earth) did the original music.

[Postscript: Of course I will be giving-away copies Of author Heath Lowrance's books in a contest...Therefore, like I said, Please stay tuned!]
