Member JimPV Posted March 3, 2011 Member Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks for the info, daisho2004. I'll probably pick this (or the first book) up soon. Anybody have the same author's "Asia Shock"? I'm re-reading David Kalat's excellent book "J-Horror" and wondering what other Asian horror tomes might be worth picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Member Share Posted March 3, 2011 I was going to get Asia Shock myself but I was waiting to pick up a used copy of it. Not really in a hurry to get that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member waywardsage Posted May 16, 2012 Member Share Posted May 16, 2012 Both of Patrick Galloway's books are great! I find myself going back to them often after I've watched a film and want some insight on it afterward. I really wish he would make a 3rd book and "complete the trilogy!"
