Description

Creature From the Black Lagoon by John Russell Fearn (writing as Vargo Statten)

DreamHaven Books – 2011

Creature From the Black Lagoon is perhaps one of the all-time favorite films of all Monster fans. The original novelization, by Vargo Statten (a.k.a. John Russell Fearn) was only published in England in a digest paperback format by Dragon Books in 1954. Later it was also done as a hardcover. Both versions are incredibly rare and very expensive. This is the first time this has been published in the US, with the added bonus of an intro by #1 Creature fan David Schow and dozens of photos, many of which have never been published before.

The book comes in three versions, Trade Paperback, Hardcover (some available signed by Julie Adams), and Leather-bound Hardcover, which is signed by both Ricou Browning (the Creature) and Julie Adams.
