FAB Press has released two new books. “Elsa Lanchester: Bride of the Hunchback” by M.J. Simpson is a nearly 600-page biography of the actress known for her role in James Whale’s “The Bride of Frankenstein.” The book features over 200 rare and unseen photos and covers Lanchester’s career spanning from the silent era through home video, including her work in film, radio, television, stage and record, often alongside her husband Charles Laughton. An individually numbered and signed limited edition is available for pre-order at the FAB Press website, with general release on February 1, 2027. FAB has also issued the paperback edition of “The Frightfest Guide to Japanese Horror Movies” by Tom Mes, with a foreword by director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. The guide covers over 200 titles from Japanese film history, including kaiju classics, “Ringu” and related films, and works by Takashi Miike and Shinya Tsukamoto. Both the paperback and limited-edition hardcover are available for order at the FAB Press site.
