Jump down the rabbit hole into the world of artist Ronald Porcelli—terribly twisted, delightfully dark, and frightsomely filled with an alphabet of oddities, creepy creatures, and macabre folklore.
A is for Adzooks that walk with no head.
B is for Boo-zoins that feed on the dead.
C is for Crackings—sweet, they just look gruff.
In Ronald Porcelli’s Alphabet of Oddities, haunting rhymes and frightsome black-and-white illustrations reveal a ghastly world of legendary creatures. With F for Fxchopxtinks, L for Loomis, and X for XyLongs, this ABC book brings macabre folklore and fantasy art together in a collectible package.
Wrapped in ornate foiled patterns with black page edges, this gothic bestiary is a luxurious gift that will send chills down your spine, perfect for Halloween, fans of creepy creatures, collectors of unusual curiosities, and anyone who loves delightfully dark fantasy.
But beware! You might find that some of these monsters are best left in the shadows.
This is a gorgeous illustrated poem. Think Dr. Suess on the more macabre side. The rhymes are fun for all ages, and the black and white illustrations bring them to life. I read an e-ARC but I imagine the foiled patterns and black-edged pages would make it beautiful to display on a shelf or coffee table. Each imaginative and creepy creature has its own illustration and rhyme.
