Designed like a book catalogue for children in cults and with morbid hobbies, My Little Occult Book Club couldn’t be farther from a novelty item: The attention to detail is impeccable, it genuinely looks vintage! The black humour is top notch, and Steven Rhodes’s art is brilliant! I would read every single fictional book in this fictional catalogue if I could. It’s hard to categorise this, but it will surely appeal to collectors of 70s/80s pop culture inspired art books, as well as to horror-comedy readers.

This is one of the most special and unique books in my home library, and I’m BEGGING Rhodes to release more of these, if only to compile his art! I visited his website right after finishing my delightful time within its pages, and found myself wishing I could buy every single one of his designs. Unfortunately that’s not a viable option for me, but I wouldn’t blink twice before buying another book (or two!) that contains the rest of his artwork so they’d all always be within reach.

There is indeed a poster inside too!
