Loading... Please wait...Enoch Coffin is a proud inhabitant of Massachusetts, an artist following in the footsteps of local legend Richard Upton Pickman. Coffin is an artist with a singular quest: to capture in paint, or ink, or clay -- however he might -- sights that no mortal has ever portrayed in art before...and lived to exhibit. His quest will take him throughout actual New England locations, and that other New England of H. P. Lovecraft, where his models will be doomed souls, ravening ghouls, and entities from beyond the veil.
Individually acclaimed for their weird fiction, in this collection of short stories authors W. H. Pugmire and Jeffrey Thomas collaborate to paint the portrait of a character every bit as fascinating and unique as the subjects of his artistic encounters.
With haunting illustrations on the front and back cover by renowned illustrator Santiago Caruso and interior illustrations accompanying every story by illustrator Clint Leduc, Encounters with Enoch Coffin is one of the best-selling Dark Regions Press titles of 2013.

|
"An important figure in the fields of modern horror and the weird." - Laird Barron |
|

|
"In time he will, in this reviewer’s opinion, be listed alongside King, Barker, Koontz, and McCammon." - Brian Keene |
|
"Jeffrey Thomas’ imagination is as twisted as it is relentless." - F. Paul Wilson |

Santiago Caruso was born in 1982, in Quilmes, Argentina. He is a symbolist and surreal artist, with an avant-garde concept but rooted in the nineteenth century´s decadentism. Dedicated to the fantastique, metaphysical horror and poetry, he had illustrated books for Libros del Zorro Rojo, Dark Regions Press, Ex Occidente Press, Tordesilhas, Tartarus Press, Random House Mondadori, Planeta and Penguin. His work stands out both for the vigor of its poetry as well as for its technique. Member of the Beinart Surreal Art Collective since 2010, the artwork of Caruso is well represented in galleries and museums of Buenos Aires, United States, United Kingdom, Mexico and Spain. |

Clint Leduc is an illustrator and freelance Graphic Designer living in central Massachusetts. It was Stephen Gammell's illustrations for the series SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK that first hooked him on both art and horror in the mid-80's, though his style is more obviously influenced by master engravers Gustave Dore and Albrecht Durer. His illustrations were first published by Permuted Press in THE UNDEAD: SKIN AND BONES and FLESH FEAST in 2007. |
