Breathless Homicidal Slime Mutants
Breathless Homicidal Slime Mutants: The Art of the Paperback is a homage to the history of the mass-market paperback. It begins with books from the late nineteenth century and continues into present day, featuring the most popular genres of mystery, romance, Westerns, how-to, cooking and diet, and highbrow literature packaged for a broader audience. It focuses on the history of the art and design of the format and how it is inseparable from the history of American literacy, tastes, and mores of the twentieth century.
Breathless Homicidal Slime Mutants: The Art of the Paperback was published by Rizzoli/Universe in September 2012. Its author, Steven Brower, teaches conceptual design at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and Kean University in New Jersey.
