Devil Bat Diary The Journal Of Johnny Layton By Peter H. Brothers. Inspired by the famous 1940 film, Devil Bat Diary (ISBN: 9-781461-070924), tells the true story of what really happened to the unhappy citizens of Heathville, Illinois, during that terrible prewar summer, as recorded in the long-suppressed journals of Chicago City Registers principal newspaper correspondent, Jonathan Johnny Layton.
The Devil Bats were furry fiends created by a scientific genius who believes himself wrongfully relegated to concocting perfumes and colognes which he despises for wages not worth mentioning. So, as a means to an embittered end, he manufactures an evil ointment with a scent that so infuriates his giant bats to such an extent they feel compelled to tear the throats out of their unsuspecting victims.
Devil Bat Diary tells for the first time the full inside story of what took place in ways not possible to show to Production Code audiences back then: such as Chief Wilkins being in love with Layton or that Mary Heath was a superstitious lunatic or that Layton and his trusted picture-taking partner One-Shot McGuire couldnt stand the sight of each other!
Written to coincide with the 70th Anniversary of the films release and dedicated to the eternal memory of Bela Lugosi, Devil Bat Diary is an unforgettably entertaining venture into a world filled with chirping Chiropterans, malicious murders, sacred sex and revolting revelations.
(Peter H. Brothers is also the author of Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men The Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda.)
