My New Book Is AVAILABLE NOW!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that my new book, Collins' Crypt: Remastered is now available HERE at Amazon. As the title suggests, it's a collection of many of my Crypt articles from Birth.Movies.Death (RIP) from over the past decade, but with a few nips and tucks to improve grammar, correct the odd typo, etc, while also adding notes/updates where appropriate. I always tried to make sure my pieces were still of value weeks/months/years later (unlike the casting news stories that make up the majority of movie sites' content), and when going through the pieces and curating which ones to include, I was happy to see that most of them were indeed just as relevant now as they were when they were written.

But the real draw (I hope!) is that the book contains eight brand-new Crypt essays that were written exclusively for this collection. So yes, while the majority of the book is something you can - and may already have - read for free (albeit with ads and broken images), you're getting a decent amount of new material, for around the usual cost of a monthly Patreon subscription. Except you'll only have to "subscribe" once, and you already know you're getting plenty in return! Show of hands: who else has signed up for a friend's Patreon only to see them let it basically lapse while still collecting your monthly fee? It sucks, right? Well, this avoids the potential ripoff you endure out of loyalty! Some of the new pieces include a comparison of the two versions of Exorcist 4, an apology of sorts for being excited for a Wes-free new Scream film, and a celebration of the insanity that is Hausu. Plus: a new installment of the much loved Minute by Minute series - the first one in over eight years!

If you enjoy it, please take a moment to submit a rating and/or review to help get it on more eyeballs. I'd love to do more volumes (a second one is already partially planned out) but only if it sells enough to warrant all the work it takes (not to mention paying an editor and cover artist). And of course, plug on your socials if you feel so inclined; it's just so hard to get something on anyone's radar these days, so every bit helps. Thank you in advance, and Happy Holidays to you all!

  1. Excellent read so far! Because it's an older model, my Kindle ceased to download books any more after Dec. 31. So your book was my last purchase on that Kindle. I checked out The Descent after reading your review and loved it. Also bought myself a copy of The Strangers, another great film. Looking forward to reading more of it and checking out films new to me.

    1. Oh no! I didn't even realize Amazon phased out older Kindles from downloading. I am honored to send it off into the virtual sunset!

      And honestly if it inspired you to watch Descent and Strangers I think you've already gotten your money's worth, but by all means enjoy the rest! Thank you so much!

  2. I'm a longtime fan of HMAD, but I never read Birth.Movies.Death, so the book is all new to me, and I'm absolutely loving it!. Thanks!
