Description: "Andy Milligan, perhaps the most compelling lone wolf in cinema history, gets his due in this definitive work. A dressmaker, actor and puppeteer, Milligan cranked out explosive titles like Bloodthirsty Butchers, The Body Beneath, and The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here! on threadbare budgets."--

Review Quotes: An appalling pocket of cinematic history, delightfully explored and obsessively researched. Andy Milligan is one scary man... this feel-bad book makes me feel good by asking the all-important question, "Can a genius be untalented, too?" -- John Waters
