A richly illustrated filmography of early horror cinema featuring gorilla men, killer apes, and lost evolutionary links from 1908–1949.

About Beasts And Beauties

This stunning volume explores a forgotten sub-genre of early horror and fantasy cinema: the era of gorilla men, killer apes, and monstrous evolutionary hybrids. Covering the period from 1908 to 1949, the book presents an annotated filmography and over 150 rare production stills—many previously unpublished. From the infamous Ingagi to King Kong, this collection charts the symbolic and visual obsession with apes in film history and its cultural implications. A must-have for collectors of obscure film memorabilia and lovers of strange cinema.

Packaging & Shipping

We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.

Returns

Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
