Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos
This time of year always makes me nostaglic for old monster films from the 30's, 40's and 50's. And if you're a fan of these like I am then you have probably seen Basil Gogos' art. He has painted some of the most iconic portraits of classic monsters including Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and Bela Lugosi as the Mummy, Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Phantom. His oddly bright and expressionistic color palette allowed him to render some of the most effective portraits of horror film denezins ever. This is the first monograph of his work and belongs in every horror or classic monster fan's library.

This cover for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was done by one of my personal heroes, Mr. Dan Clowes, which should be enough to recommend it to anyone. This is classic piece of horror literature...this is a classic piece of literature PERIOD and if one were to judge a book by its cover, which you shouldn' t you know but which i do anyway, one would certainly choose this beautiful edition with dust jacket designs by the amazing Dan Clowes. Click on the alternate views to see the full dust jacket design... i know having this edition does not improve the value of the amazing story contained within its pages but goddamn if it doesn't make it look purdy on the shelf...

Timothy Basil Ering's gorgeous illustrations and handwritten journal entries take you inside the mind of the modern prometheus. It functions as a fantastic companion to Shelley's original novel. Besides being an interesting coffin table book, it is a glory to read. The sketches and chickenscratch scrawl suck you into a rich world of reanimated corpses and horrendous hubris. A delightful gift for a friend or yourself. Check out the internet for used copies (Powells.com, Amazon).
