It's a fascinating read authored by friend Joseph Maddrey. Aside from his thorough research, he includes new interview material from Craven's personal past. His creative gifts were rather complex, and Maddrey does a sensational job of making sense of it. At 400+ pages, you'll come to understand what made the man tick. In-depth and infectiously interesting. Available at Amazon.
