Overview

Nicolas Winding Refn presents one of the most acclaimed film director biographies ever published. The Ghastly One: The 42nd Street Netherworld of Director Andy Milligan is back in print in a luxurious, large format slipcased special edition, strictly limited to only 1,000 copies worldwide. Milligan, perhaps the most compelling lone wolf in cinema history, gets his due in this definitive work. A dressmaker, actor and puppeteer, Milligan cranked out titles likeBloodthirsty Butchers, The Body Beneath, and The Rats are Coming! The Werewolves are Here! on threadbare budgets. Due to their many limitations, his movies made Milligan the laughing-stock of the film industry. McDonough changed all that by providing the necessary context and pathos, allowing these chaotic yet highly personal movies (and their creator) to be seen in a new and sympathetic light. The book also serves as a history of the shadowy New York City sexploitation business, 1950s/60s cafe culture and Off-Off Broadway theatre. Starring a cast of unforgettable and elusive characters, the gripping narrative turns grimly personal. It’s told with unflinching honesty by biographer and journalist Jimmy McDonough. McDonough has updated the prose for this extraordinary new coffee table art book edition, which is packed full of rare images. Dubbed best show business biography of the year by TIME magazine, The Ghastly One finally gets the presentation it deserves in this lavish production, backed by film director Nicolas Winding Refn. Destined to be hailed as one of the most beautiful film books ever published, The Ghastly One is an event not to be missed. Hilarious at times, deeply unsettling, and ultimately heartbreaking, The Ghastly One will haunt you long after the last page is turned.
