Tom Weaver of Sleepy Hollow, New York, has been interviewing moviemakers for 35 years. The New York Times called him a leading scholar in the horror field and USA Today has described him as the king of the monster hunters. Classic Images said he was “the best interviewer we have today.” A frequent contributor to film magazines, he has written many books about American popular culture and is also a Blu-ray audio commentator.

“one of the leading scholars in the horror field”—New York Times; “the king of the monster hunters”—USA Today; “one of our foremost fantasy film historians”— Sight & Sound; “amazing grouping of spirited talks...Weaver’s interviewing style is a thing to envy...an addictive, informative, entertaining experience”—Classic Images; “excellent material from his interviewees”—Film Review; “Tom Weaver has enjoyed a lengthy career writing about the horror genre through his reference guides and countless magazine contributions. His interviews are thorough and informative but presented conversationally, as though he is simply visiting with an old friend. Weaver expertly guides the talk in a way that allows him to ask his questions in an informal manner, and likely he received a more detailed answer than if he had approached the subject as a journalist would”—horrortalk.com; “great...one of the best books ever done by Weaver...Weaver scores again!”—Little Shoppe of Horrors; “another thoroughly addictive collection of candid interviews...no one in genredom has mastered the art of the interview better than Weaver, his Eye will keep your peepers glued to the page from start to finish”—VideoScope; “belong[s] on the shelf of any ardent horror/science fiction fan...Tom Weaver continues to be our premier oral historian, and his peerless interviewing technique is truly exemplified in [this book]...highly informative...fascinating”—Monsters from the Vault; “buy the book...a must-have...handsome cover”—E-Zine Newsletter; “highly recommended...especially fun and informative reading for dedicated fans of great old-time science fiction and horror movies”—Midwest Book Review; “will probably find much use for Eye on Science Fiction...names famous, infamous and on the fringes”—Rue Morgue.
