Book excerpt: "Skulls. Gore. Blood. Death. Decay. Horror. Bones. Mutilation. Monsters. Haunted Houses. Blackness. Contemporary artists are increasingly obsessed with the darker things in life. Sculptors, photographers, painters, filmmakers, installation artists and illustrators are all reflecting this renewed interest in gothic imagery." "This black vein of art is a perfect post-modern fusion of pop references and a feeling of discontent and disturbance underlying modern life. Here death metal, war, violence and throwaway culture meet. The work is often more carnival macabre than devil worship. Artists are merely reflecting the horror that permeates everyday life. With over 150 works by 35 artists, this book is a must for anyone inspired and devoted to all things gothic."--BOOK JACKET.
