DESCRIPCIÓN:

Críticas ---Winner of the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award's Book of the Year"The writing in the memoir is deeply personal and heartfelt, detailing Peterson's relationships with her parents, her siblings and her partners throughout the years. Seemingly she doesn't hold back on details, allowing the audience to appreciate a life lived, with many lessons learned along the way....Ostensibly Yours Cruelly, Elvira is a book for horror fans and lovers of this character, and no doubt if a devotee remembers tuning in on Saturday nights to see Elvira introduce the horror flick of the week, there's a lot of nostalgia within these pages. However, Peterson is after something more profound and revelatory than mere nostalgia. Her stories are meant to teach lessons, bear witness and show just how wild a life's journey can be from the farms of Kansas to the top of the media world....This is not Elvira's book, it's Peterson's, and that's a good thing."--Hollywood Soapbox"For chilly nights, stay at home and read Yours Cruelly, Elvira, the dishy new memoir from Elvira (a.k.a. Cassandra Peterson), the longtime horror movie hostess and entrepreneur."--New York Times"If you've ever wondered if there are 1000 fascinating stories behind the iconic character, the answer is yes....The book is full of a million ways she became that way."--NPR's "Bullseye""Yours Cruelly, Elvira is packed with insider details and a few shocking surprises which no one saw coming, except folks closest to her plunging neckline....Peterson's memoir is written in much the same style as her persona and delivers her mildly sardonic yet warmly funny lines easily, but it's not all jokes and sarcasm. There's an honesty that satisfyingly saturates these chapters. Fans will savor personal stories about her rocky upbringing, her determination to make it in Hollywood, and, most touchingly, her deep shock and sadness at losing several close friends to the burgeoning AIDS epidemic while attempting to remain focused on her career. There are a few zingers Peterson elaborates on which will undoubtedly surprise even hardcore fans of this dark enchantress."--Bay Area Reporter"Cassandra Peterson reveals how she became the Mistress of the Dark, and her tale is far more complex than one might expect....Through it all, Peterson maintains the dry sense of humor beloved by viewers since her Movie Macabre days, showing off her affection for corny puns even when she's recalling painful memories. Her book is a must-read for anyone interested in 1970s Hollywood, horror movies, or just Elvira herself--a pop culture icon of the highest order." --BUST Magazine"A hauntingly beautiful memoir of one of the most iconic figures of the macabre. Just when I thought I couldn't fall in love with Elvira any more, this book took my admiration to a whole other level."--Kat Von D"Elvira the character is a tantalizing gothic pop icon, a living Halloween costume, a kitschy, clever, comely chanteuse with brains. But Cassandra, the multi-talented woman inside that character, has lived an incredible life full of experiences that make most people's best days sound like dime-store humdrum."--Jack White"Elvira/Cassandra is a glamour ghoul after my own black heart--and a virtuoso tassel-twirler. I value her beauty advice. But most of all, I treasure her showbiz tales--louche, lusty, and sometimes so ludicrous they have to be real! Here they are, and more, delivered with that scintillating wit that makes her a bona fide legend. I savored every single page."--Dita Von Teese"I knew Cassandra had a colorful and exciting life, but I didn1t realize what a talented writer she'd become. Her book is beautiful--funny, poignant, outrageous, and full of surprises. Exactly like her. I'm happy I can genuinely recommend it and hope I'll get to play myself when it becomes a blockbuster movie."--Paul Reubens AKA Pee-wee Herman"Prepare yourself to enter a rocky, rollicking life, loaded with unexpected twists, turns, and stunning surprises
