Contributor Bios Index Art Credits/ AcknowledgementsBlurb: This remarkable companion to the award-winning volumes The Art of Horror and The Art of Horror Movies, from the same creative team behind those acclaimed illustrated volumes, looks at the sexy, sleazy, and sensational subject matter in books, magazines, comics, and movies, that has helped to shape modern horror.
Although often associated with cheapness and low quality, pulp fiction and filmmaking have influenced the way we live for more than a century. Many respected authors and artists worked for the pulp and paperback markets, while films made for the low budget or youth markets are now rightly regarded as classics as they continue to inspire the movies and television we watch today. Profusely illustrated with more than 800 rare and unique images from around the world—including book and magazine covers, interior illustrations, movie posters, comic books, promotional items, tie-ins, and previously unpublished artwork commissioned especially for this book—this handsome volume charts the history of escapist horror and the individuals who created it.
Compiled by multiple award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with a Foreword by prolific and acclaimed author Robert Silverberg, this visual history brings together insightful and revelatory commentary from some of the genre's most highly esteemed experts. The Art of Pulp Horror is a stunning and informative guide to how, for over 100 years, we have enthusiastically embraced and exploited the gratuitous and the gory into our popular culture. Arrived today. Down to £16 inc. p&p on Am*z*n uk just now if you get in quick! Comments to follow (spoiler: it looks nice). Belated very well done to Justin Marriott of Paperback Fanatic enterprises for his contribution to so prestigious a book!
