Filtered Reality is our love letter to found footage horror.

Featuring a foreword from Stephen Volk (Ghostwatch) and an introduction by Aislínn Clarke (The Devil’s Doorway), the book's sixteen chapters are divided into two sections — Progenitors and Evolution — to chart the genesis of the contemporary found footage horror film.

The first section includes influences such as epistolary Victorian horror novels (Dracula), radio hoaxes (The War of the Worlds), and the mondo film (Cannibal Holocaust), before the second explores subjects ranging from digital folklore (The Blair Witch Project), to video games (Resident Evil), to post-cinematic horror (Host) — and what lies beyond...

The first-edition paperback is limited to 500 copies and features original section illustrations and detailed monochrome cover art complete with UV spotting. Each order comes with a reversible bookmark.
