Actor Vincent Price won acclaim for his performances as a menacing villain in dozens of macabre horror films, such as House of Wax. Less well known, though, is Price's lifelong love of animals, especially his fourteen-year-old mutt, Joe. From his wife's passion for poodles to film set encounters with all types of creatures, including goats, apes, and camels, Price's life was full of furry, four-legged friends. But it was Joe who truly captured his heart. Intelligent, courageous, and devoted to his owner, Joe was a special dog with a personality all his own. This touching and light-hearted memoir includes a new introduction by Bill Hader and a preface by Vincent Price's daughter, Victoria.

      The late actor Vincent Price's relationships with animals provides the vehicle for loving reminiscences in this reissue of a 1961 effort, beautifully and sensitively narrated by his daughter, Victoria. Joe was a sweet mutt with some behavioral problems whom Price adopted at a sad period in his personal life. Stories abound of all sorts of creatures well known to Price's household and film sets: Goats, apes, camels, and roosters are among the many. Brief biographical and career insights are shared sporadically within the context of each animal-related memory. The articulate yet conversational writing is performed with style and affection. This audiobook is a winner. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
