description: 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 anticipated to be one of the best-selling Dark Regions Press titles of 2013.For more information please visit the dedicated product page for this book at: http://www.darkregions.com/books/encounters-with-enoch-coffin-by-w-h-pugmire-and-jeffrey-thomasPraise for W.H.
