THE ART OF HORROR: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY
Amazingly there has never been a book quite like ÊThe Art of HorrorÊ ä a celebration of frightful images compiled and presented by some of the genre's most respected names. While acknowledging the beginnings of horror-related art in legends and folk tales the focus of the book is on how the genre has presented itself to the world since the creations of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley first became part of the public consciousness in the 19th century. It's all here: from early engravings ä via dust jackets book illustrations pulp magazines movie posters comic books and paintings ä to today's artists working entirely in the digital realm.ÞEditor Stephen Jones and his stellar team of contributors have sourced visuals from archives and private collections (including their own) worldwide ensuring an unprecedented selection that is accessible to those discovering the genre while also including many images that will be rare and unfamiliar to even the most committed fan.ÞFrom the shockingly lurid to the hauntingly beautiful ä including images of vampires werewolves zombies ghosts demons serial killers alien invaders and more ä every aspect of the genre is represented in ten themed chapters. Quotes from artists/illustrators and a selection from writers and filmmakers are featured throughout.

Edited by STEPHEN JONES (London, England), who also provides an extended introduction and detailed captions to the images throughout the book. A Hugo Award nominee, he is the winner of three World Fantasy Awards, three International Horror Guild Awards, four Bram Stoker Awards, twenty-one British Fantasy Awards, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Horror Association. One of Britain's most acclaimed horror and dark fantasy writers and editors, he has more than 130 books to his credit.
