ABOUT THE EDITOR
STEPHEN JONES lives in a neat house in London, England, surrounded by old books and movie posters. Since leaving school many, many years ago, he has done what he loves and loved what he does—writing and editing more than 150 scary books, and winning all sorts of awards for his work. His numerous volumes have included the illustrated histories The Art of Horror and The Art of Horror Movies, the tie-in books to the Neil Gaiman movies Coraline and Stardust, the critical studies Horror: 100 Best Books and Horror: Another 100 Best Books (both with Kim Newman), and The Illustrated Monster Movie Guide. Steve began reading comic books and monster movie magazines when he was a teenager and has never stopped.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
RANDY BROECKER was born in a decade when horror was king in comics—especially such EC titles as Tales from the Crypt. Thanks to his older brother, he developed a taste for horror and fantasy in books and movies as well. He has been crafting his superbly sickening illustrations and providing them to various putrid publications for over forty ghastly years. His art has graced the stories of such luminaries as Ray Bradbury, Ramsey Campbell, Neil Gaiman, and Tanith Lee, among many, many others. Although primarily associated with the horror genre (particularly all things Lovecraftian), he also wrote the book Fantasy of the 20th Century, a World Fantasy Award–nominated coffee-table art book he compiled for Collector’s Press. He has also contributed art to record covers and video games. Randy lives in a very old house in Chicago, where he is content to draw monsters all day.
