100 of artist Boris Vallejo's finest sensual paintings come to life with gothic stories of desireFantasy and sensuality mingle in a journey of the senses in Enchantment, a showcase of Boris Vallejo's provocative paintings of men and women set against gothic tales of romance. The artist's stunning illustrations of science fiction and fantasy have appeared on the covers of books by such writers as Frederik Pohl, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Larry Niven, Lin Carter, and Alice Chetwynd Ley, as well as in such well-known series as Conan the Barbarian, Doc Savage, and Tarzan.Vallejo's interest in bodybuilding and the human form is reflected in his art. In Enchantment, he painstakingly depicts every line and muscle of perfect human specimens in sharp, smooth detail. His subjects often transcend human beauty -- they have the wings of birds, the teeth of wolves, and the tails of serpents. Coupled with mythical stories of otherworldly costume balls, voyeurism, seductive vampires, and intoxicating angels, Vallejo's art celebrates eroticism and desire.

In Ladies' ten signature paintings and numerous drawings, Boris Vallejo depicts the magic time when goddesses roamed the earth; they are the perfect accompaniment to Doris Vallejo's poetic and chilling retelling of ten classic tales. This is myth transfigured by a modern sensibility: retelling mythic tales from the points of view of the goddesses, heroines, sorceresses, princesses, wives, and daughters. Readers see Persephone, condemned by a god's adoration to live six months of each year in the kingdom of death; the Gorgon, a great beauty transformed into monstrosity by her own longing to be loved; Apollo's mortal bride, Coronis, left behind each time her godly husband returned to the heavens; and Pandora, who discovered knowledge no mortal was meant to have and paid the price.
