About this title

Synopsis

For the first time in English print, the complete story of the making of one of the most significant and influential films of the 20th Century. Originally intended to cash-in on the then current trend of American monster movies, what resulted instead was the cinema's first anti-nuclear treatise to reach an international audience. Gathered from previously unpublished sources, rare photographs, personal interviews and with shot-for-shot descriptions of both the Japanese and American versions, "Atomic Dreams and the Nuclear Nightmare" is a tribute to the greatest monster movie of them all.

About the Author

Peter H. Brothers is an actor, author, lecturer, director, playwright, poet and four-time Rondo Award nominee. Growing up in Encino, California in the 1950s, he was exposed to many classic fantasy, science fiction and monster movies at an early age, and was particularly influenced by the American version of Gojira (Godzilla, King of the Monsters!).

His exposure to that film began a lifelong love of dinosaurs, dragons, cinema, film scoring, special effects and Japanese fantasy films, especially those directed by the man who directed "Godzilla," Ishiro Honda.

His book "Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men" is the first in English ever written on the world-famous filmmaker, and his newest book "Atomic Dreams and the Nuclear Nightmare" is the first in English devoted exclusively to the making of the original Godzilla.

His latest book, "The Sons of Godzilla: from Destroyer to Defender, from Ridicule to Respect (1955-1995)," is his third on the kaiju eiga genre.

He has given numerous lectures on Japanese fantasy films and has hosted panels on famous horror films. He has written two horror novels, "Devil Bat Diary" and "Terror in Tinseltown," the first dedicated to his favorite actor, Bela Lugosi, and the second dedicated to Forrest J Ackerman, as well as a volume of poetry called "A Rainbow's Bold Amen."

He resides with his understanding wife in Agoura Hills, California.
