Danse, a Dark Tale of Macabre


Book Description

Danse is a four part, illustrated series by B.A.D., that depicts the wicked tale of its featured creature and the sinister journey of their life. Divided into the following - Rat, Crow, Spider, Toad - Danse takes the reader on a visual tour of darkness that has nestled itself into the heart of these despicable beings, whose stories have never been heard by human ears. The Rat King is the first legend in the Danse, a Dark Tale of Macabre series. Hated, loathed, and seen as lesser, rats have always been subjected to the condescending eye of the world as being inferior. However, much death and carnage shall come to follow the birth of one rat who repudiates such claims towards his existence. Under the self appointed title of "the Rat King", his infamy would come to singlehandedly fashion a new esteem for all his kin alike, and prove that not even the gods can snuff out a perilous soul. Written and illustrated by B.A.D., a Gothic art/Hatching style beautifully presents the grim story, with elegant borders framing each page in a unique display that often reflects the current significance of the plot.




Danse Macabre


Book Description

Before he gave us the “one of a kind classic” (The Wall Street Journal) memoir On Writing, Stephen King wrote a nonfiction masterpiece in Danse Macabre, “one of the best books on American popular culture” (Philadelphia Inquirer). From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as experienced through the eyes of the most popular writer in the genre. In 1981, years before he sat down to tackle On Writing, Stephen King decided to address the topic of what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. Here, in ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that comprise the horror genre—from Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. With the insight and good humor his fans appreciated in On Writing, Danse Macabre is an enjoyably entertaining tour through Stephen King’s beloved world of horror.

Danse Macabre


Book Description

This anthology is the most unusual and original collection of stories you’ll ever read! It is a literary version of Danse Macabre "Plague art". Twenty-six literary reflections that embody those themed, classical artworks devoted to the spectrum of humanity’s intriguing interactions with the Angel of Death. -- "People die from old age, illness, accident, violence, despair. They can die before they are born. The happy and the sad, the sane and insane, the rich and the poor, the law abiding and the criminal, the genius and the fool, the saint and the sinner. Some face death consciously, others die in their sleep. But we all die and Danse Macabre is a kind of universal melting pot for death. My goal is to create an anthology that is a literary version of the Danse Macabre artwork, showing the same range of humanity in a variety of situations and encounters with death." -- Nancy Kilpatrick Includes works by: Gabriel Boutros, Brad Carson, Suzanne Church, Dan Devine, Lorne Dixon, Tom Dullemond, Opal Edgar, Ian M. Emberson, Edward M. Erdelac, Sabrina Furminger, Stanley S. Hampton, Sr., Brian Hodge, Nancy Holder & Erin Underwood, J. Y. T.
