Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero by Adam Charles Hart
George A. Romero became a cult hero to horror fans around the world for making beloved masterpieces like Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, but that success meant that, in the eyes of the film industry, that’s all he could ever make. But he was an endlessly creative, restless, hugely creative artist - writing and developing dozens of projects - dramas, goofy comedies, action epics, sci fi extravaganzas, westerns, mysteries, talky dramas, and, yes, horror - that never saw the light of day.
Adam Charles Hart’s Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero is the first book to survey the entirety of Romero’s creative output, including the massive collection of unproduced scripts and other writings discovered in his archive. This book details the most exciting, funny, insightful writing from the archive and follows Romero’s most persistent ideas as they find their way into new projects and, sometimes, into the familiar horror classics that fans have been watching over and over for decades.
In the process, Hart provides a revelatory, inspiring new picture of Romero the artist - an artist who never stopped creating, even when the industry turned its back on him, and found himself repeatedly re-inventing the horror genre to make room for the movies he wanted to make.
"A revelation! This exuberant celebration of horror icon George Romero examines his feature films but also offers an in-depth look at his thematic aspirations beyond horror, his unfinished work and his myriad side projects, shedding light on a film artist's many unrealized dreams in the bruising industry of moviemaking. Hart's depiction of Romero's perseverance elevates this narrative to a commentary on the artistic struggle itself and leaves the reader enlightened, inspired and consoled." -- Larry Fessenden, filmmaker
"The best book on Romero I've ever read -and I've read them all. This is the study I've always dreamed of, one that upends what I know, educates me, and challenges me. Hart's miracle is taking what should be bittersweet subject matter - Romero's voluminous unproduced work- and making it nothing short of inspiring." -- Daniel Kraus, New York Times bestselling author of Angel Down and Whalefall

Lasted whole five minutes!
Size: One Size, Size: One Size
I received this last night and did a cute "unwrapping" this morning for my dog, who was thrilled to get new balls. Unfortunately, the excitement was short-lived. I know the description says this isn't a chew toy or for aggressive chewers, but lasting only five minutes is ridiculous. You can see in my photo that it ripped from a single bite while my pup was just pulling the ball. I thought that was exactly what this toy was designed for!

Super fun!
Size: One Size
Our GSD loves this toy whether playing with it by himself or with us - he grabs the rope and flings it then chases it…it’s become his favorite toy!

Dog loves it, but it comes apart pretty quick.
Size: One Size
The dog loved chasing it and playing tug-of-war, but it lasted less than 30 days. If the outer rubber portion of cover was thicker, or all canvas material, it would probably last for a few months of rough play. May buy again if I can't find something similar to try.

This is a big ball.
Larger than I thought but still a great toy for a heavy chew pup, easy to toss and won't go under funiture. She has the same ball in a 5 inch size so I know it's quality and will last. Can't wait for Summer, will make a great yard ball.

Second one, first one lasted a good while
We leave it outside in the weather with solid results for our backyard dog, and the dog loves this thing. It's our go to toy for her, ... perfect for kick to fetch, tug of war, hide in the shirt, bump the human leg when it is wet, etc. ;) The first one we used and used and finally it started to show too much weathering, mildew, and finally breaking after like 1.5 years... we have extremely hot and wet weather here. When new though, these balls take a pounding. Our 50 pound dog can play tug of war to the extent we can pick her up while she holds onto the ball with her teeth. The ball doesn't flinch and the dog loves it. Kicking it is fun because you can give it a wallop and it won't go over the fence since the design absorbs a fair bit of the kick energy, but it is still enough for an adult or teen to send it about 1/4 an acre away. What else... oh the dog has a funny habit of finding the one spot that isn't an empty pentagon... as in the plastic is filled in there... and she likes to bit on that part especially during tug of war. I should also mention our dog literally breaks apart and sometimes eats sticks and twigs in the yard, can't be healthy, so a nice diversion is this ball that she will chew on once in a while without destroying it.
