Reseña del libro "The Body Snatcher: Cold-Blooded Murder, Robert Louis Stevenson and the Making of a Horror Film Classic (en Inglés)"
In 1994, historian Scott Allen Nollen published the critically acclaimed Robert Louis Stevenson: Life, Literature and the Silver Screen, the only volume dedicated to screen adaptations of the prolific Scottish author's work.
