Natural Thorn Killers. A Creeping Guide To Plant Horror (en Inglés) - Tony Mardon;Lauren Jane Barnett

Plant horror. The fear of flora, fungus and intelligent, mobile trees and vines has filled cinema screens for decades. From the vicious attacks of the triffids to the terrors of airborne spores, film makers have postulated a wide variety of eco-terrors to try and take over or decimate the human population of Earth.

In this book, Lauren Jane Barnett and Tony Mardon strap on their hazmat suits and wield their weedkiller to venture into the fascinating world of arborial monsters. Along the way they consider flora from outer space; man made monsters; mushrooms and fungi; killer trees; naturally evolved threats; grasslands and cornfields; and a cornucopia of other films related to the genre.

Step inside and discover a wealth of cinematic delights dedicated to what happens when the plants take over!
