The Haunted World of Mario Bava

Bava is the seminal Italian Gothic Fantasy stylist. A former painter, he extended his eye for beauty in composition to forge breathtaking symphonies of colour and light in a series of masterful horror classics. His influence extends beyond such acknowledged cinematic disciples as Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci, to a new generation of admirers incuding the likes of Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese. This is a stunningly illustrated volume, with over 64 pages in full colour and is the first comprehensive book about THE master of Gothic Horror filmaking.
