A year after the events in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, unrelated but similar diabolical occurrences took place in the Great Lakes area of a young United States. Evil has booked passage aboard the Great American as it sets sail for Chicago. Aware of the ship’s dark reputation of death and mysterious mishap, a desperate crew composed of a murderous convict, two priests, a doctor of sorts and able-bodied misfits falls prey one by one to a formidable evil on the open sea. It’s old-school vampires inspired by Bram Stoker’s original vampire tale as well as the Hammer films, told with originality by a new voice in horror fiction.
If you liked the spine-tingling, Stoker-inspired terror of Shadows In the Dark, then you will love the collection of related stories that takes place around the same point at the turn of the 19th century around the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes have always been filled with beauty, awe and mystery. Now they offer up waves of frightening tales of suspense and terror. From Flying Dutchman-like Mariners to an unspeakable evil transported back to Chicago from its Egyptian Tomb, to a ship’s log revealing it was more than just a storm which killed its crew, to vengeful ghosts and big fish tales. These stories are sure to give you pause about ever journeying into the Great Lakes regions at night, or ever going anywhere near them....alone.

SF and horror films of the past: Richard Matheson, Janet Leigh, Acquanetta, Hazel Court, Kim Hunter and others reminisce at length and with great good humor about their days on the sets of Psycho, Planet of the Apes, Superman; the Poe, Hammer and Lewton films, and exploitation greats like Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.
Former child actor Paul Petersen once said, "Fame is a dangerous drug and should be kept out of the reach of children." It is certainly true that many child actors have fallen prey to the dangers of fame and suffered for it later in life, but others have used fame to their advantage and gone on to even more successful careers in adulthood. This work is a compilation of interviews with 39 men and women who, as children, worked in the motion picture industry in Hollywood. They all handled their childhood celebrity differently. Lee Aaker, Mary Badham, Baby Peggy, Sonny Bupp, Ted Donaldson, Edith Fellows, Gary Gray, Jimmy Hunt, Eilene Janssen, Marcia Mae Jones, Sammy McKim, Roger Mobley, Gigi Perreau, Jeanne Russell, Frankie Thomas, Beverly Washburn, Johnny Whitaker, and Jane Withers are among those interviewed. They talk candidly about their experiences on and off the set, the people they worked with, and what they did after their careers ended. The pros and cons of being a child actor and the effects that it had on them later in life are discussed at great length.
The people who directed, produced, and starred in the scary and fantastic movies of the genre heyday over thirty years ago created memorable experiences as well as memorable movies. This McFarland Classic brings together over fifty interviews with the directors, producers, actors, and make-up artists of science fiction and horror films of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. From B movies to classics, Samuel Z. Arkoff to Acquanetta, these veteran vampire baits, swamp monsters, and flying saucers attackees share their memories.

This advanced textbook covering the fundamentals and industry applications of process intensification (PI) discusses both the theoretical and conceptual basis of the discipline. Since interdisciplinarity is a key feature of PI, the material contained in the book reaches far beyond the classical area of chemical engineering. Developments in other relevant disciplines, such as chemistry, catalysis, energy technology, applied physics, electronics and materials science, are extensively described and discussed, while maintaining a chemical engineering perspective. Divided into three major parts, the first introduces the PI principles in detail and illustrates them using practical examples. The second part is entirely devoted to fundamental approaches of PI in four domains: spatial, thermodynamic, functional and temporal. The third and final part explores the methodology for applying fundamental PI approaches in practice. As well as detailing technologies, the book focuses on safety, energy and environmental issues, giving guidance on how to incorporate PI in plant design and operation -- safely, efficiently and effectively.
