Book trailer for Saturdays Are Gold by Pierre Van Rooyen

'An adventure thriller with paranormal overtones set in 1940s South Africa. If Stephen King, Roald Dahl and Gerald Durrell had ever teamed up to write a South African book with a flavour of To Kill a Mockingbird - they might have come up with something like this.'


I am not sure about the effectiveness of book trailers. Instead of just trying to get people to notice your book, you now have to get them to notice your trailer - and then be interested enough to chased down the book.

As a stand-alone work of art, this trailer is a very evocative short film. I think people are going to enjoy the clip, and that it's going to make people interested in the book.
