Destroyed by the Publisher! Massacre by Sine When this book was published Allen Lane was so offended by Sine's obsessions with the Catholic Church, nuns and mutilation that he dove to the Penguin warehouse at night, removed every unsold copy, and burnt the lot at his farm. Now famously rare! #allenlane #sine #massacre #bannedbook #penguinbooks @penguincollsoc #censorship

Been chipping away at this piece for a couple weeks in between personal stuff, freelance, and work. Here's my mock cover art for one of my favorite scary books as a kid, Alvin Schwartz's " In A Dark, Dark Room & Other Scary Stories." Its a book that is on the banned book list. I remember in elementary school, every year for Halloween I'd check this book out. I loved it so much. Still do even as an adult. Hope one day to get to illustrate a scary book or Halloween themed book.
