The second one is even better! 🖤

Justin Burning holding a copy of his book, HAND-HELD HELL: THE OUTBREAK OF HOMEMADE HORROR. The cover depicts a hooded skeletal ghoul holding a hand-held video camera. On sale now from Terror Vision.

In 2023, I wrote a book called HAND-HELD HELL, about the many no-budget amateur horror flicks that populated video store shelves in the 80s/90s. 44 films spotlit! 22 filmmakers interviewed! It was published by @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social! It sold out! But it's now back in print! Get a copy!

And I stand by that
