Prepare for schlock and awe Written by Hollywood screenwriter Cromwell Gibbons in the 1930's, this wonderfully schlocky novel of evil menace was undoubtedly meant as a treatment for a Universal Studios horror picture. It has all the elements of a Saturday matinee fright fest: vampirism, mad scientists, head-hunters and yellow peril. Nearly impossible to find, THE BAT WOMAN is a guilty pleasure that's sure to enthrall and amuse.
