what is this madness?
This pop up tome of unimaginable freakish fright was inspired to become real when Skinner started working with Poposition Press a few years ago as one of the artists featured in The Pop Up Art Book. He saw what was a gateway to potential occult heresies. His horrible rattling maggot mind started to germinate ideas…what could he do to merge his love for disturbing weird horror and his own interest in the macabre pop up arts?
A POP UP NECRONOMICON! MAYBE!?! PERHAPS – COULD IT BE?
And so, Skinner went about dragging Poposition Press’s head master engineer Rosston Meyer into combining terrible and illuminating scrawlings with the mathematical angles of pop up magic into something that old Lovecraft readers and new indoctrinated disciples of horror could love!
