An unrepentant junkie, voyeur, and degenerate, he\u2019s only tolerated by the more dangerous men around him because he keeps the projectors at the Colossus theater running on time, entertaining them with the most extreme horror cinema money can buy.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something unique about Andy, though. He owns a movie. It\u2019s the only one of its kind. No one knows who made it. Only he knows where it came from. The woman it stars is beautiful beyond imagination\u2014and the images it depicts are more nightmarish than the darkest depths of Hell. The beasts of 42nd Street will do anything to possess it, but there\u2019s something they don\u2019t understand. Andy loves the woman in the movie\u2014and he\u2019ll go to any lengths to protect her\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A savage love letter to 70s exploitation cinema and a biting satire of toxic fan culture,\u00a0<i>Beasts of 42nd Street<\/i>\u00a0makes horror dangerous again as it ventures into the mind of a psychopath like no other\u2014 one that will have readers recoiling even as they keep coming back for more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preston Fassel is an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in\u00a0<i><em>Fangoria<\/em>, Rue Morgue, Screem<\/i>, and on\u00a0<i>The Daily Grindhouse, Dread Central<\/i>, and\u00a0<i>Cinedump.com<\/i>.
