i keep waiting for the mailman to bring me this book i ordered off of ebay! It is wonderful, though some readers (ahem) didn't like it because the pictures were of sometimes gory, sometimes icky, sometimes disturbing subject matter and seemed to be "floating in space". The best part may be the essay in the back which is a visual essay in the form of a scrapbooky sketchbook. it has my new favourite concept, drawing and quote: "Anyone can be a dracula"!
