Dark Work

by Keith Minnion (Illustrator), Steven C. Gilberts (Introduction)

SST's DARK WORK brings together the best magazine and book illustrations and covers from Keith Minnion's twenty-year career in the horror genre. Keith chooses to work in traditional media-pencil, ink, paint-and all are showcased in 100 pages of full color and rich black and white art. Shelley's Monster, Leiber's Demons of the Upper Air, Blatty's Exorcist, Strand's Aspiring Lunatic, Curran's Corpse King, Crowther's Eater, Ketchum's Gorilla, O'Nan's Monsters, and every shadow, terror and nightmare in between, are all here. Along with scores of previously published illustrations, there is also a section of work published here for the first time. The award-winning illustrator Steven C. Gilberts provides an insightful introductory essay, and Keith also supplies a complete and detailed index of the work presented.
