What is the Book of Beasts?

Hi!

For the past few years I've been researching and writing a book about Nigel Kneale's 1976 ATV horror anthology series Beasts.

The book, which was written with the blessing of Nigel Kneale's estate, will look at the inspirations for the series in popular culture and mythology, and how they are reflected in the finished episodes. The series' journey from the written page to the small screen will also be documented with access to Kneale's original scripts, production documentation and interviews with the cast and crew. Details of three episodes that made it to script treatments, but were never produced, will also be included. 

With the book now in editing phase with the publisher it feels like now is the time to share some of the material that didn't make the cut, talk about how the book was written and general news about Kneale and his work. 

Unleash the beasts...
