We Are The Martians – The Legacy of Nigel Kneale

After a change of publishers I’m delighted to say that the We Are The Martians – The Legacy of Nigel Kneale, edited by Neil Snowdon, is now available for pre-order from PS Publishing. It is due to be published next month.

This is a collection of essays and observations about the film and TV work by the incredibly influential and ground-breaking British screenwriter, Nigel Kneale.

Here’s the Table of Contents for this terrific anthology, which will be a must for anyone who was a fan of Kneale’s work.
