    This large A4 magazine is a credit to the team at Classic Monsters. My favourite Boris Karloff films are The Mummy, The Black Cat, Black Friday and many others. I sent a copy by International Tracking from the UK to the USA a while ago, as Sarah Jane Karloff was interested to know what I thought of it, as she told me in an email that she had never seen it before.

    I cherish every book and magazine I have from you fine folks.
