Damien Love

Damien Love has written about film for The Guardian, The Scotsman, The Sunday Herald, and Uncut Music & Movies magazine. His book on Robert Mitchum, Solid, Dad, Crazy was published in 2003. In a labor worthy of his last name, Damien brought back into print Val Lewton's long-forgotten 1932 novel No Bed of Her Own.
