The Art of Horror delivers an unprecedented collection of horror-related art just in time for Halloween!

Art of Horror Book CoverHorror is all the rage this fall with TV shows like Scream Queens and American Horror Story, and movies like The Visit, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, and Crimson Peak.  In THE ART OF HORROR: An Illustrated History (Applause Theatre & Cinema Books Hardcover; October 31, 2015; $40), editor Stephen Jones beautifully captures the rich artistic history of this subversive genre.

THE ART OF HORROR is a true celebration with over 500 frightful images, compiled and presented by some of the genre’s most respected names, including a foreword by cult favorite Neil Gaiman. Readers will be ensnared by the shockingly lurid and hauntingly beautiful color photos and illustrations representing every aspect of the horror genre since Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in the 19th century. Editor Stephen Jones and his exceptional team of over 100 contributors have sourced visuals from archives and private collections worldwide, ensuring an unprecedented selection for those discovering the genre and the most committed fans.

Here’s what reviewers have to say about this exceptional book:
“The archetypes of horror are primeval. In The Art of Horror: An Illustrated History (published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books), editor Stephen Jones draws a line from the cat-headed Egyptian goddess Bast to Val Lewton’s classic B film Cat People (1942). Lavishly illustrated, The Art of Horror is a compendium of images from ancient through postmodern, accompanied by texts that serve as a history of human fear as manifested in literature and the visual arts.” —Shepherd Express

“A must-have for monster movie lovers. It’s a sumptuous visual feast of moody imagery.” —Creative Loafing

“If you’re a fan of things that go bump in the night, the works of H.P. Lovecraft, or anything related to the world of horror for that matter, this is the book for you. Even if you don’t have much knowledge on the subject, this book is certainly something worth checking out. There are images that have been seen many times before, but there are also many that have rarely seen or have never been seen before. It’s a terrific, in-depth look into the world of horror and art.” –The Examiner

“The Art of Horror is a horror fan’s dream….This book is not just loaded with great visuals, but it turned out to be a great read as well with plenty of information about the history and how it reflected society. I can’t recommend this book enough. It was done with research and care and celebrates a genre that we love so much. What more can we ask for?” — Scared Stiff Reviews
“A fine addition to your coffee table or coffin lid, The Art of Horror: An Illustrated History, edited by Stephen Jones, is a horror connoisseur’s choice of movie posters, comic books, paperback and dust jacket art, pulp magazine covers, and ancient and contemporary art that gleefully dwells on the morbid predilections of the frightening genre so many fans clamor for yet know little about.’ —Zombo’s Closet

“In The Art of Horror, multi-award winning horror and dark fantasy writer and editor Stephen Jones brings together thrilling visuals of the horror genre that have bewitched audiences since the 19th century . With a foreword by Neil Gaiman, this is one collection you don’t want to miss.” —Dread Central

“It’s certainly the art that you’ll buy it for, and it’s well worth it. As a long-time fan I’ve seen a LOT of horror, but this book is packed full of images and artists I’ve never heard of.” –Horror Talk

The City of Miami Beach has announced that in recognition of its Centennial celebration, it will launch a citywide book club reading experience titled, One Book, One City. Its very first selection will be Thane Rosenbaum’s latest novel, HOW SWEET IT IS!, a literary, comedic tale set in Miami Beach in the summer of 1972. A novelist, essayist and law professor living in New York, Rosenbaum was raised in Miami Beach and is arguably the city’s most critically acclaimed author/native son.

Mandel Vilar Press will create a special and elegant paperback edition of HOW SWEET IT IS! just for Miami Beach’s Centennial, which will be available by the end of September. Readers will have plenty of time to read the novel and prepare for all of the fun events that will be taking place in November around the novel.

Citywide programming includes:

  • 11/4 – Kick-off event with Thane Rosenbaum at the Jewish Museum, 7pm.
  • 11/7 – Miami Beach Library Branch Read-A-Thon, 2-4pm in the auditorium
  • 11/15 – Book reading at the Betsy Hotel with Thane Rosenbaum, 7:30-8:30pm.
  • 11/17 – Miami Beach Library Branch Book Discussion with Thane Rosenbaum, 6:30pm – 7:30pm.

Thane Rosenbaum will also discuss and sign copies of HOW SWEET IT IS! at the Miami Book Fair International on either the 21st or the 22nd of November.

Set during the historic and tumultuous year of 1972, HOW SWEET IT IS! follows the Posner family—two Holocaust survivors, Sophie and Jacob and their son, Adam—doing everything they can to avoid one another in a city with an infinite supply of colorful diversions. The book covers the antiwar movement, Watergate, sports (Super Bowl winning season, the Munich Olympics, and Muhammad Ali’s return to championship form), the rise of the counterculture, the desegregation of the south, the fading of the Jewish Mafia, the Rat Pack, and the wacky, poignant and hilarious gestalt of Miami in the 70s.

A Reader’s Guide for HOW SWEET IT IS! is available here .
