Publisher's Synopsis
One of the most popular movie monsters of all time is fully explored in this captivating collection of essays which highlights the cultural impact of the movie and its enduring legacy. The collection will include original contributions by luminaries such as Ray Bradbury and Robert Silverberg, and is edited by Karen Haber, who has previously worked on similar books, essays and collections for both THE MATRIX and THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy.
The essays in KONG UNBOUND will explore everything from a cinematic analysis of Kong, to the film's seminal role in the genre of horror and monster movies; while science fans will enjoy an explanation of whether or not giant gorillas actually existed, an exploration of the film's other fantastic animals from the Age of the Dinosaurs, and the possible existence of isolated island ecologies that may still harbour creatures from the Mesozoic Era.
