Great dive into Bill Landis

I really enjoyed Prestons Fassell's Our lady of the inferno and when I saw that he put out a little book on Bill Landis, a man who I didn't know before reading this book, I had to check it out. It was a good read. Wished it was a little bit longer since I found the man's life pretty interesting but I'm glad to have taken the time to read it. Must read if you're a fan of exploitation movies
