In the meantime here is a summary of The Pandora Room taken from Amazon.co.uk no infringement is intended:

“The Pandora Roomis New York Timesbestselling author Christopher Golden's chilling exploration of what happens when the original Pandora's Box is discovered in an ancient subterranean city, stirring international conflict and exposing the archaeological team to curses, whispers, and the terror of a legendary plague.

In one ancient variation on the myth of Pandora's Box, there were two jars, one for Pandora and one for her sister, Anesidora. One contained all the blessings of the gods, the other all the world's curses. Now, in a subterranean city in Northern Iraq, archaeologist Sophie Durand has discovered a secret chamber covered in writing that confirms that version of the tale--a chamber which contains a single jar. "Weird shit" expert Ben Walker joins Sophie's team just as the mystery deepens and grows ugly. Those who believe the myth want to know which jar has been found in the Pandora Room, the one containing blessings, or the one full of curses. Governments rush to lay claim, but jihadi forces aren't waiting for the dust to settle. Whatever the jar contains, they want it, no matter who they have to kill...or what will emerge when they open it. For Sophie, Walker, and the others, the Pandora Room may soon become their tomb.”

All of us at AmberBenson.TV are really looking forward to this exciting audiobook.

Amber Is A Special Guest On The Slayerfest 98 Podcast

7/24/2018

There was excitement for fans a few days ago as Amber was one of the special guests on the latest episode of the Slayerfest 98 Podcast titled Amber Benson's Insect Reflection.

Together with fellow special guest Louis Peitzman, hosts Ian Carlos Crawford and Mathew Rodriguez they discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 5 Episode 6 “Family”.

As many fans will know Amber played the role of Tara Maclay on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for three years between 1999-2002. Family gives us a glimpse of what Tara’s life was like before arriving in Sunnydale. I'm not going to give many details away here because I still meet people who are just discovering Buffy and/or Amber’s work so I’m avoiding spoilers for anyone who might want to discover Buffy for themselves. It will come as no surprise to fellow Amber fans that it is one of my all time favourite Buffy episodes.

The group discusses key scenes from “Family” and Amber tells us her own Buffy origin story of how she was cast to play Tara as well as talking about her experience on the show and working with the cast. Amber lifts the lid on some of the special effects used in "Family" episode, favourite Buffy outfits, on screen kisses and more.

Slayerfest 98 Podcast episode 67 Amber Benson's Insect Reflection is available to listen to for free via sound cloud click the link below:

You also find links to download the podcast via iTunes and Google play

Disclaimer: The podcast contains mature themes and some strong language and there will be spoilers, so if there are fans who are new to the show you might want to download and listen later.

This is a must listen for any Amber and Buffy fan, a thoroughly entertaining way to spend an hour. Sorry for the slight delay in getting this post online I feel as though I'm always apologising lately. I update the site as fast as I can. Thank you for your patience.

The Griddle House Starring Amber Benson Has Been Released On DVD In The USA

7/8/2018

There was exciting news earlier this week as The Griddle House starring Amber Benson was released on Region 1 DVD in the USA. If like me you're a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer too there’s even more reason to be excited as starring alongside Amber is her former Buffy co star Clare Kramer and fellow Buffyverse actor Charisma Carpenter. The Griddle House is actually the first opportunity Charisma and Amber have had to work together.

The film tells the story of Jack Benson (Alex Shaffer) who’s on a search for his birth mother believing her to be one of three women Tiny (Amber Benson), Mae-Bee (Charisma Carpenter), Francis (Clare Kramer) all of whom are connected to a diner known as The Griddle House.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting The Griddle House’s release since the film was first announced a few years ago. As is sometimes the case it can take some time for feature films to be completed and find a distributor. I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Amber, Clare and Charisma who were all guests at the Vampire Ball convention in London last December. Clare who was also one of the producers on The Griddle House was very hopeful of the film finally being released in 2018 and we are delighted that this is the case.

The Griddle House is now available to buy on Amazon.com click the link below:

https://www.amazon.com/Griddle-House-Amber-Benson/dp/B07C5LQ7SZ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1531064124&sr=8-1&keywords=the+griddle+house+dvd

If anyone knows of other stockists available please feel free to get in touch. There is no news yet on whether the film will be released in Region 2 (UK format), if and when this changes I will let you know. Amazon.com will ship to the UK, this typically cost just a few dollars more although on some occasions extra customs charges can be levied.

A little while ago I posted The Griddle House trailer on our Twitter and Facebook pages. I thought I'd added it to the Latest Amber News Section as well however as I was preparing to write this post I realised I hadn't, I apologise for my oversight. I thought why not take the opportunity to embed it below so you can wet your appetite for the film.

I apologise for not being able to post this sooner due to a combination of work and exam revision. I hope everyone who has seen it so far has enjoyed The Griddle House I can't wait for my DVD to arrive.

Amber Stars In New Movie Glossary Of Broken Dreams

6/30/2018

Earlier this week Amber posted on her official social media accounts that she is starring in a new movie Glossary Of Broken Dreams. Well actually Amber in typically modest fashion describes it as "I helped out on the film Glossary of Broken Dreams"

Created by filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner Glossary of Broken Dreams employs a mixture of live-action sequences, animation and stock footage. He examines key political concepts and discourses and as narrator he re-evaluates them during the course of the movie.

Amber plays the role of Pfefferkarree McCormick, thus far I haven't been able to find out much information about the character Amber players or whether we’ll see Amber in a live action sequence or if she is lending her vocal talents to an animated section of the movie. If anyone has more information on the character Amber plays or when Glossary of Broken Dreams will be more widely available to watch please feel free to leave a comment on this post or through email or social media via the buttons AmberBenson.TV website I always enjoy hearing from fellow fans.

In her original post Amber included the link to a fascinating interview with Johannes Grenzfurthner with boingboing.net where he talks in detail about the making of Glossary of Broken Dreams. There is also a trailer for the movie embedded via YouTube. Click the link below to read the interview and/or watch the trailer:

https://boingboing.net/2018/05/24/at-the-golden-calf-slaughterho.html

I'm really looking forward to finding out more about Glossary of Broken Dreams and watching it of course. In my opinion this looks just like Amber’s type of project I can't wait to see what she brings to the movie.
