Did the movie The Birds
frighten you? I made my daddy put the parakeet in the garage. The movie still scares the bejesus. This week celebrate Halloween, the movie and Alfred Hitchcock.
Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Lightby Patrick Mcgillian. Save 87% STEAL! at $2.99. The definitive biography of the Master of Suspense and the most widely recognized film director of all time. In a career that spanned six decades and produced more than 60 films – including The 39 Steps, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds – Alfred Hitchcock set new standards for cinematic invention and storytelling. Acclaimed biographer Patrick McGilligan re-examines his life and extraordinary work, challenging perceptions of Hitchcock as the “macabre Englishman” and sexual obsessive, and reveals instead the ingenious craftsman, trickster, provocateur, and romantic. With insights into his relationships with Hollywood legends – such as Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ingrid Bergman, and Grace Kelly – as well as his 54-year marriage to Alma Reville and his inspirations in the thriller genre, the book is full of the same dark humor, cliffhanger suspense, and revelations that are synonymous with one of the most famous and misunderstood figures in cinema.
Laura. Novela by Liana Acero de la Cuesta. $6.99 from Smashwords.comIf you can read Spanish, this book will reward you in every way. Take the best in psychological novels and erotic novels, and you will recreate "Laura". Great writing, it is as revolutionary in the contemporary Spanish literature as "Nada" de Carmen Laforet was in its time. It is best to compare it to "El túnel" de Ernesto Sábato, but it has many more levels of interpretation than that novel.
