Flowers of Evil

Charles Baudelaire



Pat Andrea (illustrations)

«Come, lie upon my breast, cruel, insensitive soul,
Adored tigress, monster with the indolent air;
I want to plunge trembling fingers for a long time
In the thickness of your heavy mane,

To bury my head, full of pain
In your skirts redolent of your perfume,
To inhale, as from a withered flower,
The moldy sweetness of my defunct love.»

Banned in France for offences against morality and good manners, the poems in this book had to wait ninety-two years before their public release.

Pat Andrea, a key figure in contemporary art, has been able to create one of the most astounding interpretations ever made of Baudelaire’ universe.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft



Enrique Alcatena (illustrations)

«There were lumpish hybrid things which only fantasy could spawn, molded with devilish skill, and colored in a horribly life-like fashion. Some were the figures of well-known myth gorgons, chimeras, dragons, cyclops, and all their shuddersome congeners. Others were drawn from darker and more furtively whispered cycles of subterranean legend, black, formless Tsathoggua, many-tentacled Cthulhu, proboscidian Chaugnar Faugn, and other rumored blasphemies from forbidden books like the Necronomicon.»

A unique bestiary which brings together the extraordinary beings that inhabit the stories of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Twenty-two creatures lead us to the disturbing world of the grand master of fantastic fiction. In an incredible descent into the abysses of terror, the illustrations of Enrique Alcatena show us the most disturbing and extraordinary beasts from the universe of H.P.L.

Enrique Alcatena

Buenos Aires, 1957



Teacher of English and American literature, self-taught cartoonist, he started to work professionally on comic strips and illustrations in 1975. He has collaborated with the publishers DC, Marvel and Dark Horse (USA); DC Thomson and Fleetway (Great Britain); Bastei (Germany); Albin Michel (France) and Eura (Italy), to mention just a few. The graphic universe of Alcatena has its roots in the Japanese illustrators of the Ukiyo-e, the Persian miniatures and the great illustrators of the early 20th century.

The Dunwich Horror

Howard Phillips Lovecraft



Santiago Caruso (illustrations)

«No one, even those who have the facts concerning the recent horror, can say just what is the matter with Dunwich; though old legends speak of unhallowed rites and conclaves of the Indians, amidst which they called forbidden shapes of shadow out of the great rounded hills, and made wild orgiastic prayers that were answered by loud crackings and rumblings from
the ground below.»

The tragic story of Wilbur Watheley and the abominable events that occurred in Dunwich plunge the reader into a world inhabited by monstrous nightmares.

Santiago Caruso’s extraordinary illustrations heighten the intensity of one of the most fascinating stories of H. P. Lovecraft.

Santiago Caruso

Buenos Aires, 1982



At the age of twenty-one he was awarded the First Prize for Drawing at the Salon of Plastic Arts at the Roverano Museum. He has collaborated with various press media in his home country as well as with foreign publishers. His work stands out both for its vigor as well as for its technique. It is no overstatement to say that the work of Carusso, which is well represented in the galleries and museums of Buenos Aires, is currently one of the most pleasant revelations of Latin American plastic arts.
