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-via dust jackets, book illustrations, pulp magazines, movie posters, comic books, and paintings-to today's artists working entirely in the digital realm. Editor 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. From the shockingly lurid to the hauntingly beautiful-including images of vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, demons, serial killers, alien invaders, and more-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. Review: Claw in claw - The work that Stephen Jones and his contributors put in shows in this magnificent production. This large-format publication includes chapters on the various aspects of the horror field by experts in that field -- and all heavily embellished with images of book covers, film stills and original artwork.I haven't checked in detail but I suspect you'd be hard put to find an omission from the range of artists covered. As expected in any such book dealing with the horror world, the book leans more to movies but that's no bad thing -- horror and movies go claw in claw. A book that deserves to win many prizes. Review: Very interesting. - Brilliant present. Good sized book with so much to read and fantastic illustration. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 276 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of Horror: An Illustrated History (Applause Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vU34PhuGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Claw in claw *by P***C on 3 June 2016* The work that Stephen Jones and his contributors put in shows in this magnificent production.
