It began life as a serial feature in the first ten issues of Eightball. The book is a haunting, surreal horror with a dreamlike storyline. I'm friendly and don't bite unless asked.Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron is a graphic novel by author Daniel Clowes. I'm usually easy to find at festivals, conventions and events because I'm likely to be the only one there in a kilt and my fading English accent is instantly recognisable on podcasts and panels. I bring quality films to new eyeballs at conventions across the southwest through the Apocalypse Later Roadshow. The Apocalypse Later International Fantastic Film Festival (ALIFFF) is in its fourth year of providing a dedicated annual genre film festival to the fifth largest city in the United States.
I have six books in print through Apocalypse Later Press with more on the way.
I write book reviews for the Nameless Zine.īorn and raised in the rain of England, I'm still learning about the word "heat" over a decade after I moved to Phoenix, AZ, where I live with Dee, my much better half, in a house full of assorted critters and oddities, a library with a guard ferret and more obscure DVDs than can comfortably be imagined. I've reviewed the sort of films that most people don't at Apocalypse Later Reviews for over a decade. While I still have a day job to pay the bills, I'm a teacher by blood and a writer by the grace of the dread lord, which gradually transformed me into a film critic. The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009) The Girl from UNCLE: The Moulin Ruse Affair (1967) The Man from UNCLE: The Finny Foot Affair (1964) The book features a foreword by Peaches Christ, legendary midnight movie maven in San Francisco who appeared in Tura's film, Astro Zombies: M3 - Cloned and an afterword by Cody Jarrett, who directed Tura in Sugar Boxx and who is working on a documentary sourced from her unpublished memoir, The Kick-Ass Life of Tura Satana.Ī full list of chapters includes: Irma la Douce (1963)īurke's Law: Who Killed the Paper Dragon?

In this book, the first full filmography of Tura Satana, film critic Hal C F Astell of Apocalypse Later explores her brief but important screen career through a comprehensive look at each of her feature films and TV show episodes. Suddenly it was possible for a woman to be tough and female at the same time and nobody has yet mastered that like Tura Satana did as Varla in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Faced with an all-American boy and his all-American girlfriend, her wild go go dancer races him, cheats him and fights him, leaving him dead in the dirt. In a single scene in a single film, Tura Satana forever changed the world of American cinema.
