Sinossi

Every generation the media is blamed for the unruly behaviour of the young. In the 80's it was Heavy Metal, during the 90's it was rap and computer games. Well, there was once a time when comic books were seen as the greatest danger to the youth of the world, and the American Government decided it needed to do something about it. The Senate Hearings into juvenile delinquency would not only change the comic industry forever, it inspired an age a true horror across the globe, allowing government sanctioned witch hunts ruled by men like Joseph McCarthy to destroy the lives of everyday people looking for hidden perils in a seemingly dangerous world...and this all began with the war against comic books.

 

The modern political environment is not the first time America's paranoia infected the world. There was a time when comic books were branded public menace #1, and many governments moved to destroy the industry. With a cast that includes Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Joseph McCarthy, America's first serial killer, Albert Fish, Stan 'The Man' Lee and many others, 'HORROR - the First Time America's Paranoia Infected the World' is a tale based on the true stories of those affected by these strange times.

Born in 1969, Phil likes to point out he was one of the last children born before man walked on the moon. Published in newspapers and magazines across the globe, since 2007, Phil has been the paleo-author for the world's longest running dinosaur magazine, The Prehistoric Times. He has also been a comic shop manager, a cinema projectionist, a theatre technician, and gutted chickens for a deli. All of these influences seem to make an appearance in his writing, especially the chicken guts bit.
