▸WHO ARE THESE BOOKS FOR?
Genre cinema obsessives, puzzle fans, and anyone who spent their formative years in a video store. The books are designed for adults who know their Argento from their Bava and their Fulci from their Deodato.
▸HOW HARD ARE THE PUZZLES?
Moderate to challenging. The word lists are drawn from real films — including deep cuts, obscure titles and cult favourites — so casual viewers may struggle. Hardcore genre fans will find them satisfying rather than punishing.
▸ARE THESE PRINT OR DIGITAL?
Print only. These are physical paperback books available exclusively through Amazon. No PDFs, no apps — just paper, a pen and the apocalypse.
▸HOW MANY PUZZLES PER BOOK?
It varies by volume. Most books contain 30–80 puzzles. The larger slasher volumes contain 150–175 puzzles across 300–350 pages. Page counts and puzzle counts are listed on each book card in The Vault.
▸ARE NEW BOOKS BEING ADDED?
Constantly. Stevie is still down there scribbling. New volumes are added to the series regularly — check The Vault for the latest releases and watch for "COMING SOON" titles moving to live Amazon links.
▸CAN I SUGGEST A GENRE OR TOPIC?
Stevie takes requests. If there's a subgenre you want to see covered, the best way to reach him is at [email protected] — he checks it between tins of expired soup.
