About the Author:
Review:
Roz Kaveney is a freelance writer and editor and chief contributor to Reading the Vampire Slayer (I.B.Tauris 2003).
""An incredibly necessary text--arming the geeks with tools to read films for the DVD generation--and possibly regeneration. Clear, simple text, in which an understanding of slash fiction is as important to the text as an encyclopedic knowledge of a hundred years of written SF, and what movies mean.""--Neil Gaiman
""An exemplary book of its kind. For any other authors considering tackling this subject, it is the book to beat.""--Charles Shaar Murray
