Joseph Maddrey is the author of more than a dozen books, including Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film (2004); Not Bad for a Human, the official biography of film actor Lance Henriksen (2011); two volumes of Adapting Stephen King (2021-2022), and the graphic novel To Hell You Ride (2013).

“Finally, the Bible is written for the cult of Wes Craven!” raves Grady Hendrix, author of Paperbacks from Hell and The Final Girl Support Group.
A Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp adds, “The Soul of Wes Craven reveals not only the soul but the brilliant mind that Wes Craven possessed. From his very humble upbringing to his death from brain cancer, we get a rare glimpse into the wide-ranging influences that made Wes Craven a visionary filmmaker. Illuminating and touching, I learned even more about the man who changed my life by casting me as Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street. This intimate, well-researched look into his life expands my appreciation of the maestro.”
