The Hammer Story book launch

The launch of the new edition of Titan Books' The Hammer Story is being celebrated with a special one-day event at the Cine Lumiere in Queensberry Place, London SW7, this coming Saturday, 27th October. The event will include cinema screenings of Never Take Sweets From a Stranger and The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll, along with one other as yet unconfirmed film.

Guests will include actors Geoffrey Bayldon, Kenneth Cope, Brian Croucher, Janina Faye and others, all of who will be signing copies of the new book with authors Marcus Hearn and Alan Barnes.

The event will also present a rare opportunity to purchase copies of a strictly limited leatherbound edition of The Hammer Story, which will not be otherwise available in stores.
