The Best Horror Stories of

Начало книги

I have been a professional illustrator for nearly twenty years and was inspired, like many artists, by the work of Frank Frazetta. I first saw his Conan paintings when I was eight years old, and I can still remember where I stood and what the furniture in my neighbor's house looked like at the time--and twenty years later, Howard's writing still has the same effect. Howard is a master of atmosphere and detail, and when I read his stories, I am in them; I can see the buttons on the costumes, smell the dank air, and feel the foreboding. So, although illustrating his work has been a dream project, it has not been an easy one! For doing such a master justice is no small task--but, nevertheless, it's incredibly rewarding.

To follow in the footsteps of the mighty Frazetta is one thing, but to follow in Howard's is quite another.

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed illustrating it.
