Pennington takes selections from the Prophecies of Nostradamus, sequencing then into a rough narrative of the rise of a fascist Antichrist and the end of days, magnificently illustrated in his inimitable fashion to create a febrile vision of the apocalypse.
The book is a beautiful, album-sized collection of artworks, often taking the form of surreal visions reminiscent of St John's Book of Revelations. Symbolic, oblique, by turns nightmarish and dreamlike.

Nigel Suckling, one of the foremost authorities on unicorns, leprechauns, and angels, has developed a taste for blood. Book of the Vampire is a stimulating and chilling look at world-wide and ages-old myths about blood-sucking creatures. The accounts range from South America’s Chupacabras to Malaysia’s penanggalan, whose disembodied flying heads terrified believers. Suckling begins his inquiry with Bram Stoker, whose classic Dracula revived a flagging interest among Victorians for elegant hosts with curious appetites. The book digs deep into Stoker’s influences from ancient cultures, including the lamia and the succubus myths from Rome, Greece, and the Middle East, and also examines vampire myths from a spiritual perspective.

The small size of reproduction means that much detail is lost, and the spacious vistas of Pennington's landscapes diminished. Nevertheless, the jewel-like brilliance of his colours shine out clearly, and this is a powerful little book. There is a suitably 'miniature' commentary upon the sweeping vision of fantasy and science fiction art, presumably written by editor, Julie Davis. It's also a bonus to have a note of the books for which most of the paintings were made as cover illustrations.
I'm tempted to collect the other books in the series, but do I really need more books?
