Kudos to this lady dressed as the Bride in a video of New York Comic Con cosplay.

It has just been drawn to my attention that the mighty @RealGDT, a man who knows a thing or two about Frankenstein movies, reposted the announcement of my book. Thank you so much, sir! Please DM if you would like a copy.

101 copies of the special edition (signed + page edging) have sold so far. The print run on this version will be pre-orders plus a limited number available only from the fabpress.com website or stall at film events. Only pre-orders get £10 off so reserve yours now.

Amazing new technology enables us to print a 'film strip' of Elsa portraits around all three side of the book. This is only available on the limited edition signed version available direct from fabpress.com. Discounted pre-orders will close soon, so hurry!

Please share and enjoy this fantastic video of Elsa clips that @FAB_Press have put together to promote Bride of the Hunchback. youtu.be/MBIjQldoHeY?si=BLIh…

Somewhat odd publicity still for Pajama Party which (a) I've never seen before and (b) gives a completely misleading idea what sort of film it is. Looks like some weird art film!

I find other people's dreams very boring, but I just want to record here that last night I dreamt someone had pointed out a film, not mentioned in my book, that Elsa was entirely cut from but you could still see the back of her head in one brief shot. I was weirdly calm.

Unexpected Elsa sighting! 80s duo Wax are one of my fave bands but I had never before seen this alternate American video for their song 'Shadows of Love' (director: Storm Thorgerson). The band perform in front of cut-outs of Hollywood icons - and there's Frankie and the Bride!

All right, then. Who wants a six-foot animated LED Bride of Frankenstein? A snip at 550 quid. youtu.be/ntWJjMlxwTU?si=Z_T2…

Many thanks to John Squires @FreddyInSpace for giving Bride of the Hunchback a plug over on the @BDisgusting website. bloody-disgusting.com/books/…

The initial printing of the signed, numbered, page-edging edition of Bride of the Hunchback is 500 copies so thank you to the 32* people who have already pre-ordered a copy in the first few hours on sale. Order yours here: fabpress.com/elsa-lanchester… (* Dean has bought two!)

100 years ago today ... The Stage reviewed The Midnight Follies.

How brilliant is this? Lucas is an amazing animator who recreates classic scenes. Just in time for my book!

Here it is, folks. Your first look at 'Elsa Lanchester: Bride of the Hunchback' by MJ Simpson. The definitive biography, more than 20 years in the making. Available for pre-order via the @FAB_Press website from this Thursday.
