Visual artist Aeron Alfrey has furnished illustrations for books about horror authors like HP Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Thomas Ligotti. Alfrey’s meticulously detailed nightmare worlds are crammed with denizens of all varieties, densely peopled with black and white monsters like an unholy mash-up between the medieval apocalypses of Heironymus Bosch and the spooky imagery of Stephen Gammell (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark). Although Alfrey has primarily provided artwork for horror fiction, he’s had dozens of exhibitions over the globe in the past few years, and has recently started doing artwork for bands.

"I am 34 years old, I live in a depressing little town in Indiana called Crawfordsville. It was once referred to as “The Athens Of Indiana” for its architectural splendor but over time many of those buildings have been destroyed or left to decay. It has been host to an assortment of abandoned factories over the years, many I’ve had the opportunity to explore. I was creeping outside of the hospital I was born in the other week. It’s been abandoned for going on twenty some years and remains in wretched decay, windows smashed in, walls collapsing, stairs filled with toxic debris. So, this is a place that lends itself to my stranger imaginings on long walks at night.
