We've been pleased beyond measure by the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the second edition of ROD SERLING'S NIGHT GALLERY: AN AFTER-HOURS TOUR.
Perhaps you would consider casting a vote for our book to snag a statuette at the Rondo Awards. Now in its 21st year, the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards recognize achievement in "classic horror research, creativity, and film preservation." (Rondo Hatton, as many of you will recall, was an actor with the disfiguring disease of acromegaly. Despite a short career, he left a strong impression.)
