520 1 $a"Curt Siodmak is perhaps best known for his cult horror movies, such as The Wolf Man and Son of Dracula. These films were featured as part of Universal Studios' classic horror genre along with the Frankenstein movies. Wolf Man's Maker, Siodmak's personal story, itself reads like a riveting drama. In addition to stories of working in Hollywood during the golden era, Siodmak tells of having experienced two world wars, immigration to England and the United States, and countless adventures in between.".
520 8 $a"In Wolf Man's Maker, Siodmak recalls being forced to immigrate to the United States in the 1930s as the Nazis took power in Germany. As a Jewish immigrant, Siodmak's experiences of immigrating and becoming Americanized powerfully affected his perception of freedom and of human dynamics. Siodmak's stories, through the genres of sci-fi and horror, reflect this historical perspective as well as his intent to convey universal human truths through his writing.
520 8 $aWith fifty-six films to his credit, Siodmak wrote more than two dozen novels, including Donovan's Brain and For Kings Only. Donovan's Brain, hailed by Stephen King as a unique work that surpasses the originality of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, was adapted into a radio presentation by Orson Welles."--BOOK JACKET.
