Deus Ex Machina
Horror movies – with their countless tropes, traps, and tricks – have captured the collective imagination for decades. 'Deus Ex Machina' offers an expansive curatorial history of the art-form through the eyes of an obsessively spooky graphic designer.
'Deus Ex Machina' celebrates the structure and storytelling of Hollywood horror. Using image and text, the book investigates this crowd-pleasing genre’s visual iconography, archetypes, and iterative language to deepen our understanding of how it somehow manages to bring both comfort and catharsis to audiences across the globe.
