Urban
legends are a cultural tradition, and are often fun ways that we
scare ourselves. Our fascination with bogeymen can be seen in movies
such as the Friday the 13th franchise,
among many others. This book explores several urban legends, and
occasionally tweaks or updates them to mixed results. The artwork is
also a mixed bag, ranging from suitable for the material to styles
that leave me cold. All art is subjective, and that is just my
impression of the art in this book. People that actually know stuff
about art might disagree. This was an enjoyable enough book that is
worth a read.
The
OCD zone- This book has a nice, thick, coated stock paper. The
ink is printed so thick on the page that it almost feels like silk
screen, as it is raised ever so slightly. You can actually feel depth
if you run your finger across the page. While tactile sensations are
meaningless to the iPad and Kindle generation, I am a print dinosaur.
Give me bleached wood fibrous carrying units or give me death!
