When the sun goes down, our minds invent all manner of horrors that may
lurk in the darkness. Danish cult illustrator John Kenn Mortensen draws
inspiration from this shadowy realm, and his pen skillfully conjures
these eerie visions on paper. Open this book (if you dare) to encounter
a frightful horde of sepia-toned spooks -- witches, wraiths, goblins,
giant spiders, wild boars, evil clowns -- and countless other
unspeakable creatures. Hairy, hooded, or horned, they peer at you
ominously through dead eyes, their fangs bared.
By turns playful, wicked, stunningly imaginative, and masterfully
rendered, the compositions in Night Terror are like a combination of
Edward Gorey and Bernie Wrightson -- and the monsters themselves are as
formidable and menacing as those that a Witcher might hunt down. A
deliciously creepy collection of pen-and-ink drawings for those who find
themselves beguiled by the things that go bump in the night.
