One also comes away from the book feeling a certain amount of pity for Edwards.

You get an excellent look into the artist in their element. We get descriptions for why he chose certain steps in the process as opposed to more common steps. We are shown both the final product as well as images of the stages of the process. I love the opening segment in which Edwards describes the process, in detail, of how he created a painting of the Warhammer chaos god Nurgle. It's a fantastic artbook that manages to squeeze a biography, a discussion of influences, a step-by-step guide to the artist's process, and a fantastic cross-section of the artist's body of work. 'The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 18' edited by.Blood & Iron is a look at the work of Les Edwards, a fantasy illustrator perhaps best known for painting the box art for the HeroQuest boardgame.
