Written by Prue GibsonDesign by BoccalatteThe Rapture of Death, a non fiction art book is a protracted, personal
and accessible essay into the meaning of mortal fear and its related
symbols, myths, rhapsodies, warnings and curious obsessions. Small,
tactile and collectible, the book stalks monsters, nineteenth century
ghost traditions, skulls, taxidermy, seventeenth century wunderkammer
and the latest ‘curiosity art’ to find some answers. Discussions of
burial poles, fetish and the glorious wings of angels add to the
writer’s attempts to uncover our deepest deathly fears.To purchase or for more information
