Book ID/图书代码： 04313714B74950

English Summary/英文概要： Amazingly, there has never been a book quite like The Art of Horror: a celebration of fearful 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. 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, it’s all here, from the shockingly lurid to the hauntingly beautiful.

• The first book of its kind, The Art of Horror showcases an unprecedented collection of some 400 of the finest examples of horror-related art, compiled and presented by some of the genre’s most respected writers
• Traces the visual history of horror from the earliest illustrations via book jackets, magazine covers, comic books, movie posters and paintings to the cutting-edge digital artists of today
• Features scores of rare and unfamiliar images, sourced from archives and private collections around the world
• Vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, demons, serial killers, alien invaders and more: every aspect of the genre is represented, in 10 themed chapters
• Each chapter begins with an overview of the featured area of the genre, and also contains two special features on specific topics (e.g. Bram Stoker’s Dracula, or the paintings of Clive Barker)
• Quotes from artists/illustrators, and a selection from writers and filmmakers, are featured throughout
• Will appeal to all those interested in the history of horror, not to mention the development of art and graphic design.
It will also become a major source book for collectors and traders of horror memorabilia Specification

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 令人惊讶的，从未有过一本书像《毛骨悚然的艺术》一样：可怕图片的庆典，体裁上由最负盛名的那些流派们编译和呈现。虽然公认的恐怖相关类的艺术最初出现在神话和民间故事中，这本书的重点是如何流派提出了自己自Bram Stoker和Mary Shelley创作以来首次在19世纪对世界公众意识的一部分。从早期的版画，通过防尘外套，书籍插图，纸浆杂志，电影的海报，漫画书和画，到今天的艺术家们在数字领域的工作的所有，这一切都在这里，从令人震惊的耸人听闻的绝美。

•此类书的第一本，恐怖的艺术展示了前所未有的收藏的400个恐怖相关类的艺术最好的例子，由一些流派最受尊敬的作家编译和提出

•追寻视觉恐怖的历史痕迹通过书夹克，从最早的插画杂志封面，漫画书，电影海报和今天的尖端数码艺术家绘画

•刊登大量罕见的和不熟悉的图像，来自世界各地的档案和私人收藏中

•吸血鬼、狼人、僵尸、鬼魂、魔鬼,连环杀手，外星入侵者和更多：流派为代表的方方面面，在10个主题章节

•每一章开头的特色区域类型的概述，同时也包含两个特点在特定的主题(例如Bram Stoker的小说，或者Clive Barker的画)

•摘自艺术家和插画家，和来自作家和制片人的一系列，都是精选过的

•将吸引那些对恐怖历史感兴趣的人，更不必说艺术和平面设计的发展

它也将对收藏家和贸易商来说成为一本以恐怖纪念品的规范来说是重要的来源之书。(LNL)
