{"product_id":"the-mystery-of-san-gottardo","title":"The Mystery of San Gottardo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dark king of the horrific  fantastic and bizarrely erotic  Swiss artist Giger might have languished in obscurity  such is the uncompromising vision of his work. However  in the late Seventies Hollywood came calling and his legendary designs for the Alien trilogy propelled him towards international fame and an Oscar. But Allens Face-hugger  Chestburster and the reptilian Xenomorph are only a few visitors from Gigers monstrous universe. This latest book exhaustively collates illustrations  texts  photographs  letters  and notes from a covert  personal project that Giger has been striving to realise for over three decades. In a story mixing disturbing body horror and old-fashioned adventure tales  Giger illustrates the surreal science-fiction of a dystopian Switzerland where man is rendered into three bio-mechanical life-forms at the age of 60. The sexually insatiable arm-leg creature which rampages throughout this volume must rate as one of Gigers most grotesque creations. After being distracted by Hollywood for far too long  in this book Giger presents his latest outlandish and extraordinary visual excursion  a death-driving nightmare that will continue to unspool in your head long after youve closed the covers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968203321397,"sku":"ByrdShop_3822872911","price":226.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783822872918.jpg?v=1770649012","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-mystery-of-san-gottardo","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
