The Kind of Fiend Who Wins

I was very flattered last week to hear that I have been nominated for my third Rondo Award, this time for "The Kind of Fiend Who Wins," my exhaustive article on the making of THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES (1971). The piece ran in Little Shoppe of Horrors magazine #29, and the positive response from readers has been outstanding. Among others, Vincent Price's biographer, Lucy Chase Williams, calls it the "definitive" article on DR. PHIBES, and the film's co-creator/co-author, William Goldstein, praised it highly, as well. (Goldstein can be seen in the photo above, taken at a recent signing at Dark Delicacies Book Store in Burbank, California-- L-R: William Goldstein, Terri Jackson, and me.)

Little Shoppe of Horrors #29 has also been nominated for Rondos for Best Theme Issue and Best Cover Art (by the estimable Jeff Preston). Here is a link to the Rondo ballot... I hope that everyone reading this will take a minute to vote... And may the best fiend win...
