Award winning Science Fiction Grandmaster and acclaimed writer of English prose. The official BlueSky account as run by Brian's literary estate.
"Brian Aldiss wrote that there were six other people in the theater when he went to watch the film... Frankenstein Unbound stands as an underseen victory lap for a filmmaker whose taste for both the unusual and the literary informed his finest creations."
