Praise for Penguin Horror Classics:
“The new Penguin Horror editions, selected by Guillermo del Toro,
feature some of the best art-direction (by Paul Buckley) I've seen
in a cover in quite some time.” – Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"Each cover does a pretty spectacular job of evoking the mood of
the title in bold, screenprint-style iconography." – Dan Solomon,
Fast Company
