In celebration of the best dirn month of the year I will be posting some of my favorite pages from one of my favorite books from my youth. At the end of the month, it’s my plan to post the entire volume of A Tourist’s Guide to Transylvania in PDF form.

A Tourist’s Guide to Transylvania is an odd collection of licensed fantasy and horror illustrations, magical and occult references, and awkward humor. Released by Octopus Books in 1981, my seven year old self stumbled across this at the local K-Mart while out shopping for, as I remember, school supplies for my first year at school. What an odd world 1981 must have been that a first grader in an affluent suburb in the midwest could stumble across such a peculiar collection of horror and occult doctrine.

Stay tuned for the entire collection of A Tourist’s Guide to Transylvania, I promise it is a wonderful ride.
