This companion volume to 2015’s The Art Of Horror focuses on... well, guess.

Its nine-part history of scare cinema boasts a pretty impressive contributor list, which includes the likes of Sir Christopher Frayling, Kim Newman and horror novelist Ramsey Campbell.

Short sections profile important figures like Boris Karloff, Barbara Steele and Vincent Price.

Printed on glossy paper, it’s lavishly illustrated with scores of images of vintage posters (many of them made for international markets).

Also reproduces original art by the likes of Dave McKean, Graham Humphreys and Les Edwards – most of it originally produced for horror magazines, DVDs and book covers.

Our favourites, though, are the African and Indian posters for the likes of The Evil Dead and Hellraiser 3. Some of them are absolutely bonkers!
