"It's hard to describe this book. While screenplays are often distancing, I felt Collier's version brought me deeper into the story of Paradise Lost. It's an amazing and moving work of imagination."

Screenplay for Cinema of the Mind

John Collier

"What Milton had that Collier hasn't is a sense of sin, and the overwhelming power and beauty of divine order. What Collier has that Milton hadn't is a sense of humor and a delight in the variety of chaos."
(Time 1973)

British-born author and screenplay writer, John Collier, retells Milton's Paradise Lost with his incomparable flare for imagery and a vision of the story as it might be seen on film.

Although his script reads like a book, we can picture it all - satan flying through space, monstrous fiends, other worlds, devils and angels. John Collier was intrigued by the possibility of turning Paradise Lost into a film for years and his screenplay contains the basic blueprint for Milton's story as well as new food for thought.

Monstrously delicious and impeccably structured, a fascinating journey of a read.
