Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero by Adam Charles Hart

George A. Romero became a cult hero to horror fans around the world for making beloved masterpieces like Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, but that success meant that, in the eyes of the film industry, that’s all he could ever make. But he was an endlessly creative, restless, hugely creative artist - writing and developing dozens of projects - dramas, goofy comedies, action epics, sci fi extravaganzas, westerns, mysteries, talky dramas, and, yes, horror - that never saw the light of day. 

Adam Charles Hart’s Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero is the first book to survey the entirety of Romero’s creative output, including the massive collection of unproduced scripts and other writings discovered in his archive. This book details the most exciting, funny, insightful writing from the archive and follows Romero’s most persistent ideas as they find their way into new projects and, sometimes, into the familiar horror classics that fans have been watching over and over for decades. 

In the process, Hart provides a revelatory, inspiring new picture of Romero the artist - an artist who never stopped creating, even when the industry turned its back on him, and found himself repeatedly re-inventing the horror genre to make room for the movies he wanted to make. 

"A revelation! This exuberant celebration of horror icon George Romero examines his feature films but also offers an in-depth look at his thematic aspirations beyond horror, his unfinished work and his myriad side projects, shedding light on a film artist's many unrealized dreams in the bruising industry of moviemaking. Hart's depiction of Romero's perseverance elevates this narrative to a commentary on the artistic struggle itself and leaves the reader enlightened, inspired and consoled." -- Larry Fessenden, filmmaker

"The best book on Romero I've ever read -and I've read them all. This is the study I've always dreamed of, one that upends what I know, educates me, and challenges me. Hart's miracle is taking what should be bittersweet subject matter - Romero's voluminous unproduced work- and making it nothing short of inspiring." -- Daniel Kraus, New York Times bestselling author of Angel Down and Whalefall

Durable toy for a great price! Will buy again.
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs, Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
Great toy, heavy, good size, and durable for active chewers. My two dogs like to play tug a war a lot and this toy has held up fantastically! Afterwards they tend to chew toys to pieces but this one has stood the test of time so far. Great buy!

Very tough & VERY heavy
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
My dog is a half black lab/half pittie & a very aggressive chewer she goes through toy bones very quickly, to the point they're so slivered up within 2 days, sometimes slightly longer, I have to get rid of them, they never last long, except for whole antlers and some split antlers. Although she rarely touches the whole antlers . Anyways, this is a great tough toy for strong large breeds. It squeaks in the center if you squeeze hard enough but the toy/bone was a bit too heavy for my girl. I got her the next smaller one and she still plays with the big heavier one more than the one that fits her perfectly so go figure. It's a great product and definitely recommend for heavy chewers. I only took a star off because of the weight I was extremely surprised by how heavy it was, but that's not necessarily a bad thing depending on the dog, this size is just not for my dog. I think I've had it about a month and she does play with it, not as much as her other toys, but it's still in amazing shape even with her heavy chewing.

Maybe not for super aggressive chewers
Color: A Violet, Size: For Larege Dogs, Color: A Violet, Size: For Larege Dogs
I had high hopes for this toy, I was so excited about it. I have aggressive chewers, two Malinois/Dutch Shepard mixes and a Pit. The Shepard's chewed pieces off of it in literally 5 minutes. At the ends there is a small lip and that's where they started chewing pieces off. I had ordered a second one before I gave them this one (early Christmas present) because when I received it I noticed it felt very sturdy and durable. They do like it so since they already chewed this one I'm going to see if I can shave that lip off and maybe they won't get anymore pieces off. That'll decide if I return the one that arrives tomorrow. Maybe not good for super aggressive chewers. It's very thick and seems well made. Might just be better for other dogs.

Fantastic for rough chewing
Color: Bule 0, Size: For Larege Dogs
Our big boy is rough with his toys and always seems to disintegrate his toys in seconds. I had seen this with hoping this will be the toy he doesn’t destroy. On day 2 now with the toy and he’s obsessed, even feel asleep with the toy in his mouth and still in one piece. Highly recommended for tough chewers.
