"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror."
I love this quote. It is so true that when we encounter true beauty it can be unnerving, overwhelming. This is true in nature, and also true in human form. And perhaps that's exactly how it should be. Why should beauty be quaint, pretty, safe?
The gothic female is a powerful embodiment of this potent and perilous energy. For me, she has been a constant beguiling muse throughout my career. These works reflect some of my encounters with that deadly beauty.

I came across Steve's art in Instagram and could not believe I didn't know who this master artist was and the powerful art that unfolded before my eyes. I immediately found his website and placed an order for The Necropolis and Phantasma Gothica. I love them, they now reside with the other legendary artists books where they belong. Thank you Steve.
Found Steve through Instagram and when he announced an art book I felt I had to own this and so glad I made this choice, his work only improves with the larger size. If I could make one comment it is that this is too small but all the best things come in small sizes (or so I'm told!) I am currently saving for art prints, I will not hesitate to recommend this artists work to anyone interested. Outstanding work and the care with which he (or his team) sent it out shows only care for the work and for those who support him. Buy it if you can.
Well Steve, I have just got around to perusing your book, Phantasma Gothica. I love it! Brilliant artworks and fascinating life stories!
Steve Stone has once again crafted an exquisite journey through a variety of prose and art, his words eloquently gives us insight into his inspiration and motivation to delve into the abyss, gaze into its depth and give life to these Godesses and Warriors that beautifully grace the pages found herein.
"Damaged people are dangerous..." a fitting quote used here that reminds us to continue in our journey through the Darkness for we are not alone. Take strength and wisdom from here.
I look forward to opening this book up in the future many times and finding something new in its pages. Timeless and ever inspiring.
Thank you Steve for crafting this great journey, always with my utmost Respect and Love.
P.S. looking forward to a third.
I’m not going to lie this is actually the first time I’ve ever come across Steve’s work and I’m so glad I did theses two books are absolutely amazing you truly are a master of art . Every single page of the books where absolutely beautiful I just didn’t want the books to end. I can now class myself as a big fan of your talent and artistic style and I’m praying you’ll publish more fantastic amazing books Steve.Mind blowing I loved them both and a big massive thank you for the signed copies.
Hi Mark,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your review!
I have to tell you a brief story about this. On the day you posted this I was having the day from hell.. Everything that could go wrong was doing just that. So I arrived to dinner with Sian really down in the dumps. So, at the table, she sends me your review and just said, “Read this…”
I read your words and they really lifted me. Thank you so much for your generosity and the encouragement..
I will continue to try and merit your support.
All the best to you,
Steve Stone
