Alphabet of Oddities: A Gothic Bestiary
Description
Jump down the rabbit hole into the world of artist Ronald Porcelli—terribly twisted, delightfully dark, and frightsomely filled with an alphabet of oddities, creepy creatures, and macabre folklore.
A is for Adzooks that walk with no head.
B is for Boo-zoins that feed on the dead.
C is for Crackings—sweet, they just look gruff.
In Ronald Porcelli’s Alphabet of Oddities, haunting rhymes and frightsome black-and-white illustrations reminiscent of Gustave Doré reveal a ghastly world of legendary creatures. With F for Fxchopxtinks, L for Loomis, and X for XyLongs, this ABC book brings macabre folklore and fantasy art together in a collectible package.
Wrapped in ornate foiled patterns with black pages, this gothic bestiary is a luxurious gift that will send chills down your spine, perfect for Halloween, fans of creepy creatures, collectors of unusual curiosities, and anyone who loves delightfully dark fantasy.
But beware! You might find that some of these monsters are best left in the shadows.
