In 1957, the novel "Mandingo" stunned readers with its lurid,
unforgettable tale of Falconhurst--a pre-Civil War slave-breeding
plantation where unspeakable acts of sex and brutality took place
everyday between the masters and slaves. Over the next three
decades, "Mandingo" sold millions of copies worldwide and spawned
thirteen official sequel books as well as dozens of paperback
imitators. The big-budget movie version of 1975 was one of the
biggest hits of the year, as well as one of the most reviled films
of all time.
Now, for the first time, the complete history of the bizarre
"Mandingo" phenomenon is told, including: the life of the eccentric
author Kyle Onstott and the scandalous true stories that inspired
him; the two writers who continued the Falconhurst series; and the
background of the disastrous Broadway adaptation.
Also covered extensively (including deleted scenes and alternate
cuts) is the making of the "Mandingo" film and the production of
the sequel, "Drum," as well as several other "slavesploitation" and
"spaghetti Mandingo" movies.
"Mondo Mandingo: The Falconhurst Books and Films" is
exhaustively researched and contains dozens of rare illustrations
and photographs plus exclusive, candid interviews with director
Richard Fleischer, actor Ken Norton, and many others.
