BORIS KARLOFF: MORE THAN A MONSTER
"Not the first, and probably not the last biography of Boris Karloff that the world will see.
But it’s highly unlikely that any of the others will be as complete, or as satisfying as
BORIS KARLOFF: MORE THAN A MONSTER."

Scary Monsters Magazine #79
Drawing on detailed research, previously unpublished letters, and interviews with those who knew him, Boris Karloff: More Than a Monster, dispels the often repeated myths associated with the star – many perpetuated by Karloff himself – and reveals a wealth of new information about the private and professional life of Boris Karloff.
Although forever associated with his breakthrough role of 'the Monster' in Frankenstein (1931) Boris Karloff had a career that spanned almost 50 years and over 150 movies - from the era of the silent picture through to the days of the 'Swinging Sixties'.
In 2011 the Financial Times' film critic, Nigel Andrews, included the book in his four favourites of the year. FT: Reader, I loved them
