From Last Gasp




Fall is here, and the days grow shorter.


Recommendations of the Season:

Todd Schorr's exquisite canvases can be enjoyed year-round, but they are particularly suited to the autumn months: pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns recur in varied forms in many of Schorr's works. 

The perfect gift for the art-lover in your life, Neverlasting Miracles is a career retrospective, presenting the best works of artist Todd Schorr.


Neverlasting Miracles
Clothbound Hardcover with Jacket, 304 pages, 11 x 12, full color throughout

Beyond the Dark Veil

Beyond the Dark Veil
Post-Mortem and Morning Photography from the Thanatos Archive

A compilation of more than 190 extraordinary and haunting photographs and related ephemera. "Beyond the Dark Veil" documents the practice of death and mourning photography in the Victorian Era and early twentieth century.

Krampus!

In European folklore, the Krampus is St. Nikolaus's dark servant — a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose pointed ears and long, slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps!
     The Krampus terrorized the bad until they promised to be good.  Some he spanked. Others he whipped.  And some he shackled, stuffed into his large wooden basket and carted away, then hurled into the flames of Hell!
     Such scenarios were delineated by skilled Old World craftsmen and printed on penny postcards throughout Europe.
The rare examples featured in Last Gasp's line of Krampus products are the best history has left to offer.

KRAMPUS is coming... are you ready?

In the early Christmas traditions of Europe, the Krampus was St. Nick's dark servant — a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose pointed ears and long, slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps!

The Krampus terrorized the bad until they promised to be good.  Some he spanked. Others he whipped.  And some he shackled, stuffed into his large wooden basket and carted away, then hurled into the flames of Hell!

Such gruesome scenarios were printed on penny postcards and disseminated throughout Europe. The once ubiquitous cards are now rare collectibles - the images featured in Last Gasp's line of Krampus products are the best history has left to offer.


Gruß vom Krampus... Greetings from Krampus
