Legendary director John Carpenter always gives one hell of an interview, and a new book will gather 16 years of Carpenter talks!
Coming soon from FAB Press, Bringing Darkness Instead of Light: Conversations with John Carpenter is being billed as “the definitive book on the archetypal Hollywood maverick.”
FAB Press previews, “Bringing Darkness Instead of Light is the culmination of over 15 years of startlingly candid conversations between John Carpenter and author Michael Doyle.
“In a wealth of frank, often funny and lively exchanges, we enjoy an unprecedented insight into the famously-private filmmaker’s life and career, rich with amusing anecdotes and jaw-dropping details never previously seen in print. They delve not just into the production of his movies, but also the creative process, and Carpenter’s forthright views on topics as diverse as politics, fear, drugs, and the weird tales of the author H.P. Lovecraft, alongside Carpenter’s frequently colourful opinions on his contemporaries in the film business.
“This is further supplemented by interviews conducted by Doyle with over a hundred of Carpenter’s closest collaborators, family, colleagues, and friends.
“The result is a groundbreaking, boldly unguarded insight into an iconic Hollywood legend, accompanied by numerous previously unpublished photos. Bringing Darkness Instead of Light will delight and enlighten not only John’s worldwide legion of fans, but also everyone with an interest in the horror and science fiction genres, and the ineffable magic of cinema.”
Pre-orders will be starting soon soon over on FAB Press’s official website.
