Tim Lucas
Tim Lucas (born May 30, 1956) is a film critic, biographer, novelist, screenwriter, blogger, and publisher/editor of the video review magazine ''Video Watchdog''.
==Biography and early career==
Lucas, born in Cincinnati, Ohio, was the only child of Marion Frank Lucas, a typesetter and musician, and the former Juanita Grace Wilson; his father died six months prior to his birth, on November 14, 1955, of a congenital heart ailment at age 33. He subsequently spent most of his childhood in the homes of various relatives and caregivers, seeing his widowed mother only on weekends, when she took him to drive-in theaters.〔Lucas, Tim. Autobiographical notes in ''The Famous Monsters Chronicles'' (Fantaco, 1992).〕〔Lucas, Tim. Autobiographical notes in ''Video Watchdog'' no. 50 (Mar./Apr. 1999).〕 After publishing single issues of two fanzines, he became a film critic and cartoonist for Norwood High School's newspaper ''The Mirror'' while still a freshman. He began writing professionally at the age of fifteen, when his first reviews were accepted by the influential fantasy film review ''Cinefantastique''. He served at one of the magazine's midwestern bureaus for the next ten years.
Though Lucas never formally graduated high school, he succeeded in placing an essay in ''Purdue Universitys literary quarterly ''Modern Fiction Studies'' on the occasion of its Autumn 1981 issue, dedicated to British novelist ''Anthony Burgess''. Jokingly, Lucas has described this accomplishment as his "honorary doctorate" because his letter of acceptance was addressed to "Dr. Timothy Lucas." His article, ''The Old Shelley Game: Prometheus and Predestination in Burgess's Works'', was subsequently anthologized in ''Modern Critical Views: Anthony Burgess'' (1987, ISBN 0-87754-676-2), a collection "of the best criticism available upon the novels of Anthony Burgess" in the words of its editor, Harold Bloom.
