Theatre of Fear & Horror: Rarely Seen Photographs of Guignol | City Lights

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Mel Gordon returns to City Lights celebrating the expanded edition of his classic outré book, The Grand Guignol, first published in 1988 and now long out of print.

Like the original anthology, it includes an illustrated introduction to the theater of Paris and abroad, a breakdown of its stage tricks, a summary of one hundred plots, extensive photo documentation, André de Lord’s essay, “Fear in Literature,” and two originally produced Grand Guignol scripts.
