Reviews
Superior synopsis of the length and breath of the history of art related directly to Horror Movies. Not only is it an in depth study but the plethora of original posters and new art by contemporary artists is incredible. Written with attention to facts and not generalization it always informs without being superfluous. If you are a true Horror Movie fan you cannot go wrong with this book.
