What we now know as horror was born on a rainy night in 1816, when a candle-lit writing contest between famous friends spawned Frankenstein... and eventually grew into an international genre and film sensation! Classic Monsters, Modern Art documents and reimagines the trajectory of Gothic horror––from film’s silent era all the way to the turn of the millennium.
Featuring exclusive artwork from more than 65 artists and a richly detailed chronicle from genre expert Anthony Taylor, this incredible volume brings together the canonical and the contemporary to create a truly original, timeless experience: a riveting journey through the history of film’s most iconic monsters by way of modern art.
ICONIC MONSTERS: From Frankenstein’s monster to Count Dracula, Elvira to Godzilla, King Kong to Freddy Krueger, this is the definitive visual compendium of the greatest movie monsters.
65+ ARTISTS: This book breathes new life into beloved classics, featuring exclusive artwork from more than 65 contemporary illustrators, cartoonists, and painters.
TIMELESS QUALITY: This hardcover volume provides a deluxe experience, with full-color artwork of the highest caliber and a design firmly entrenched in the genre that inspired it. A gorgeous coffee-table book that will stand the test of time.
Anthony Taylor is a writer and the organizer of Monsterama, an Atlanta retro horror and science fiction convention. His articles have appeared in Famous Monsters of Filmland, Fangoria, Screem, Horror Hound, Retro Fan, SFX, Video WatcH*Dog, FilmFax and many other magazines. His books include The Future Was FAB: The Art of Mike Trim, Arctic Adventure! An Official Thunderbirds™ novel, and The Art of George Wilson. In June 2024, he was inducted into the Rondo Hattan Classic Horror Awards Monster Kid Hall of Fame.
