    Happy Spooktacular!! Julian David Stone Talks About His Book, ITS ALIVE. It Tells The Story of The Making Of 1931 Frankenstein

    I really like this show. I thought it's perfect for Spooky October Spooktacular. A Must after listening to this is watch the flick. It's fun to know all the behind the scenes info.  I speak to the fabulous Julian David Stone about his best selling book in film industry genre, It's Alive! It's a historical novel on the drama it took to finally get Frankenstein to the silver screen. Yes, it's a novel, but all people are real, and tons of great true info on all the peeps. The dialogue was added in to make it a great read. It's a lot of fun..Lots of good stuff on Bela and Boris. I also rediscovered via Julians book the word 'stout'. I had a lot of fun with Julian.  Thanks so much to Julian for being a guest on the show. Mostly Thank You To You, The Listeners. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!! Grace The multi talented Julian has written many books. Did two mini bio's on Frankie, wrote a fun short film.. Here's his website. https://www.juliandavidstone.com Here's his authors page on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Julian-David-Stone/author/B00GMSI5RO?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true I'm so looking forward To Julian coming on again in January to talk about his book No Camera's Allowed: My Career As An Outlaw Rock And Roll Photographer..
