Well, well, well. Some of you may know that one of our writers, Headmistress Erin (sidenote: I want to be addressed as “Headmistress Erin” in any capacity, in all situations – funerals, weddings, business meetings, you name it), contributed to a book. She’s got a chapter in the forthcoming Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin. Brought to us by the good folks at Spectacular Optical, the book features artwork by Jessica Seamans and chapters from such gonzo journalists and authors as:

• Editor Samm Deighan (Diabolique)
• Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (Senses of Cinema)
• Kat Ellinger (Diabolique)
• Virginie Selavy (Electric Sheep)
• Alison Nastasi (Satanic Panic)
• Marcelline Block (Art Decades)
• Rebecca Booth (Diabolique)
• Michelle Alexander (Cinemadrome)
• Lisa Cunningham (The Laughing Dead)
• Heather Drain (Dangerous Minds)
• Gianna D’Emilio (Diabolique)
• Kier-La Janisse (House of Psychotic Women)
• Marcelle Perks (Shivers, Eyeball)

Topics range from fairy tales to romance to rape to portraits of the fantastical to zombie gore. Spoiler alert: this book is full of think-pieces by some of the best working minds out there. It also boasts a book created by women on the subject of Rollin.

To reserve a copy (and check out some of the cool extras), mosey on over to the IndieGoGo and back this wonderful project:
