My publishers, Headpress, have released a rather lovely promo video for The Book of Beasts. The video was created by Chris Lince of Hermetic Arts who specialise in producing genre material across the mediums of theatre, film and audio. One of the things I love about the video is that Chris has added tiny audio embellishments to link to Kneale's series. Can you spot the cries of a baby and a dolphin on the soundtrack?
Chris commented on making the video "As a massive Beasts fan, it was a pleasure to put together this trailer for Andrew's book. I wanted to capture the ominous dread that Kneale was so superb at, but also include more playful details in the sound design. Ending with a nod to 'Buddy Boy' was pretty much the first decision I made, and then I worked backwards from there!"
