James Bernard, Composer to Count Dracula

by David Huckvale

The first full-length critical biography of James Bernard, the composer of the music for the majority of Hammer's classic horror films. But there is more to Bernard's musical career than Gothic horror. As well as scoring adventure films, he is one of British cinema's most lyrical composers, in the tradition of his mentor, Benjamin Britten. He has also scored three stage musicals.
