“the best book I’ve read on that subgenre...lovers of Italian Gothic horror film will find much to praise...an enjoyably precise, lovingly penned examination of a stylistic wave of cinema that didn’t live long, but endures in an afterlife thanks to digital media, fervid fans and, yes, texts like Curti’s”—Bookgasm; “passionately researched...every cinephile must read”—ARBA; “a detailed and well defined definition of the genre.... Curti has the insight to find something fresh and new in every film on which he writes...marvelous job.... Since far too little has been written about Italian Gothic cinema, this book is one to own and return to”—Midnight Marquee; “Curti writes with great passion on the subject, showing great knowledge”—Hellbound; “the best book I’ve read on that subgenre...a wealth of poster art and production stills exists to liven up the layout, as well as set mood”—Flick Attack.
