Rob Zombie: The Circus of Horrors is the first essay produced in collaboration with artist Rob Zombie, featuring fifty previously unpublished backstage photos from the films and an exclusive interview with the director by Lorenzo Ricciardi. A foreword by Jeff Daniel Phillips, an actor known for his performances in Zombie’s films, enriches the work by introducing the journey through the career and cinematic evolution of a controversial and eclectic character who has desecrated the parameters of horror cinema, desecrating the concept of fear and giving it a new face, that of a society that generates and feeds its monsters. Rob Zombie and his circus make a stop in Italy to give us a show not to be missed.
The book is written by Lorenzo Ricciardi, Giada Cecchinelli, Giuseppe Carradori and Luigi Boccia.
Cover by Giorgio Finamore.
