"Humans have always been fascinated by the gruesome and ghastly, and when mixed with impeccable artistry and sensual linework, the combination is wholly irresistible - you may find yourself turning away, but the image is permanently etched into your brain.
This book presents a collection of gorgeous high resolution photographs of posters from the Century Guild Museum of Art archives that gives insight into how to deliver a message by using images both beautiful and macabre." - From a blurb on the book.
