Donovan’s Brain

DONOVAN’S BRAIN
 
 
Donovan’s Brain  is a 1942 science fiction novel by Curt Siodmak.  The novel became an instant classic and was adapted for the big screen three times.  Since then the book has become something of a cult classic, with fans including Stephen King, who discussed the novel in his 1981 book Danse Macabre.  Siodmak later wrote a quasi-sequel in 1968 entitled Hauser’s Memory.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

In 2003Angie Pepper released her first full-fledged album, Res Ipsa Loquitor (the name is taken from a Latin legal term meaning “the thing speaks for itself”).  Four of the tracks were recorded with a Montana psychedelic outfit called Donovan’s Brain (named after a 1942 science fiction novel, Donovan’s Brain that was made into a horror film on three occasions).
