Reviews
Every image has been lovingly sourced and is presented with the year it was produced and the artist whenever possible. The whole book feels like a museum exhibition on pulp horror, you can all but read the placards and easily imagine standing in a gallery organized just so. […] Altogether, this is a stunning collection of art. In a world of modern graphic design and safer, often formulaic art decisions it’s a real treat to see the outlandish ideas that came before. Editor Stephen Jones has even taken things a step further in including several modern pieces of art sprinkled throughout which pay homage to pulp horror and really drive home the extent to which pulp has inspired creators the world over. If you’re interested in understanding the history of the genre and its evolution The Art of Pulp Horror deserves a place on your shelf.--HorrorBuzz.com
