If you enjoyed REPUGLICANS you ll want CAPITOL HELL by the same artist (Pete Von Sholly) who this time he skewers both Republicans and Democrats! CAPITOL HELL is a snarky political satire whose premise is at once dark and hilarious. Artfully crossing the politicians in America s headlines with yesterday s schlock horror and science fiction movies, the startling results will make some smile and some smile uncomfortably. 
 Example: Vice President Dick Cheney is crossed with Dracula to form the aptly named Dickula, whose latest victim is Colin Powell. (On the card back Dickula is described as administering a fatal Colinoscopy.) 
Postcard book format with 24 different cards of political monsters on both sides of the aisle... 
When the DNA of both presidential aspirants from each party, pundits and others are mixed with classic horror and sci-fi flicks in the author s inky lab, skin-crawling monstrosities result: 
Rudy Giuliani + Nosferati = Nosferudy. Hillary Clinton in Attack of the Fifty-Something Woman. John McCain as Dr. McCainlove takes a nosedive. Al Gore as The Gorelem: Coming back from the dead to save Earth. Mitt Romney stars in I Married a Mormon from Outer Space! Miss Ronald Reagan? The party faithful will never let Ron Zombie die... See Bill and Hillary in The Clintonsteins double feature. Barack Obama &amp; Rev. Jesse Jackson in The Empire Strikes Black. God-fearing politicians run when Maher s Attacks! Condoleeza Rice IS The Wicked Witch of the West Wing. George H.W. Bush + The Mummy = The Daddy. Fred Thompson + Pirates of the Caribbean = Lobby Lubber Noslagia reigns as Kerrystein Meets the Bush Man! Donald Rumsfeld + Texas Chain Saw Massacre = Letherfeld! Mothra + a Pennsylvania Senator transforms into a creature called Murthra See Bill O Reilly, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter recoil as John Edwards emerges from a pod in Invasion of the Income Snatcher! Al Sharpton stars in The Creature from the Black Community. George Bush plays himself as Dr. Jerkyl (he can t hide). Stephen Colbert &amp; Jon Stewart battle Sean Hannity in The War of the Words Beware of the Slob features that Sicko Michael Moore. Karl Rove convincingly plays a man not of this planet in Plame Nine. Plus yet others!

Pete Von Sholly's History of Monsters is a glorious look at the phenomenon of monsters as they figure in pop culture as well as from the anthropological, psychological and societal angles. This unprecedented illustrated pageant shows the actual history of monsters from man's earliest fears of the darkness beyond the fire to today's nightmares to see how these terrors found expression in myth, legend, and entertainment. But whatever the time or medium it's always in the unknown where the monsters lurk and fester and wait. Step into Pete Von Sholly's History of Monsters and experience the story as never before. "This astounding work traces the evolution and proliferation of monsters through all human history and many cultures, with over 1,100 different examples intertwined into a colorful, informative and fascinating book on a scale that has never before been attempted. Take a guided tour through the dark side of legend, myth, superstition, fiction, animation, film, television and even cryptozoology, and meet every monster that has haunted your nightmares - and quite a few that haven't (yet) - in this fantastic panorama wrought with the skills of a mature master of the genre." - Richard Milner, former editor of Natural History magazine and author of Charles R. Knight - The Artist Who Saw Through Time and Darwin's Universe

ABOUT THIS BOOK A collection of essays by leading genre writers The "Fictioneers project" which has culminated in these two wonderful books has a long history but mainly I just wanted to celebrate a special group of men and women who made indelible marks on our collective and individual consciousness and whose works stand as milestones in the history of fiction in culture. It couldn't be just my personal lesser known favorites, if it was going to be a history so there were obligatory entries like Walt Disney, Steven Spielberg, Ursula LeGuin, Rod Serling, Gene Roddenberry and so on.
