The first full biography of the film encyclopaedist and television impresario Leslie Halliwell, who in 1965 compiled The Filmgoer's Companion, the first one-volume reference book devoted to all aspects of the cinema. In his capacity as chief buyer for the ITV network, Halliwell was further responsible for bringing to British television screens some of the most popular films and shows of the 1970s and 80s, including The Six Million Dollar Man, Charlie's Angels, The Winds of War, Jaws, Star Wars and the James Bond movies. His promotion of the cinema through his books and seasons of 'golden oldies' on Channel 4 won him awards from the London Film Critics' Circle and the British Film Institute, as well as a posthumous BAFTA. Film historian Jeffrey Richards said of 'Halliwell's Horizon', "I enjoyed it enormously. It combines exhaustive research with critical insight and affectionate regard, bringing Halliwell and his work to vivid life."

'Touching the Next Horizon' explores the exceedingly rare gift of genuine physical mediumship through the UK medium Stewart Alexander which includes communications between the living and so-called dead, as reported by Katie Halliwell, a first-hand witness who has kept meticulous records. Detailing 20 years of the author's experiences with the 'Stewart Alexander Circle' it contains the best of her original trilogy and further interesting reports of trance and physical phenomena up to 2019. Katie includes the results of the tragic passing of a prominent circle member and the death of a much-loved friend of the circle and his 'return' to speak to a friend and later materialize to hold his wife's hand. Also in the book are fine detailed illustrations depicting physical phenomena in action, as Katie takes us into the séance room. The interesting account of the traditional Christmas tree séance which the Alexander Circle gave in 2006 is included with a report on the evident joy of the sitters as the Spirit children played with the toys provided. New information from the spirit team clarifies the different energy needed for the matter-thru-matter experiment and we read of new steps in developing transfiguration which brings us up to date. These are just some of the wonders within this new edition as it seeks to demonstrate and prove survival after death and how it is all made possible by the blending of the two worlds through the physical mediumship of Stewart Alexander.
