Kane Hodder Tells His Own Story in Unmasked Audiobook
The majority of horror fans are well versed in the cinema of Kane Hodder. The guy is almost synonymous with the genre, but chances are most folks aren’t overly familiar with the actor’s life before he took the world of horror by storm. Author Michael Aloisi joined forces with Hodder for the 2012 book Unmasked: The True Story of the World’s Most Prolific, Cinematic Killer, which gave fans an emotional, in-depth look at Kane’s rise to stardom. It’s a fascinating read.
However, reading Unmasked is one thing, but hearing the man himself tell his story is another. Producer Steve Gray worked closely with Hodder to produce an audiobook version of the tell-all, which is now available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes. In addition to getting Kane to read the story, Gray wrangled writer/director Adam Green to read the foreword.
Here’s what Unmasked is all about.
Unmasked documents the unlikely true story of a boy who was taunted and beaten relentlessly by bullies throughout his childhood. Kane only escaped his tormentors when he moved to a tiny island in the South Pacific, where he lived for all of his teen years. After living shirtless in a jungle for a while, he headed back to America, where he fell in love with doing stunts–only to have his love burn him, literally. For the first time ever, Kane tells the true story of the horrific burn injury that nearly killed him at the start of his career. The entire heart-wrenching, inspirational story of his recovery, the emotional and physical damage it caused, his fight to break back into the industry that almost killed him, and his triumphant rise to become a film legend are told in Kane’s own powerful voice. Take a peek inside the head of the man behind the mask. Be inspired by his triumphant comeback and laugh at his on-set hijinks as you unmask the world’s most prolific, cinematic killer.
