Gallery of Horror

From 1970 to 1973, the television network NBC aired a program called "Night Gallery" hosted by Rod Serling who was best know for the series "The Twilight Zone" during the 1950s and 1960s. Each week, the show started with Rod standing in front of a work of disturbing artwork displayed on an easel. Next he would proceed to introduce the night's feature play, which always carried the same title as the displayed work of art. In the tradition of "Night Gallery," horror author Thomas M. Malafarina and contemporary artist Nunzio Barbera have collaborated to present a collection of strange and bizarre stories, combining both art and fiction, which they call "Gallery Of Horror." The goal of the work was to produce stories with the same surrealistic atmosphere of the old television show along with short stories containing similar ironic twists. In addition, many of the stories have Malafarina's own special brand of descriptive gore. Each story was inspired by, and features one of, Nunzio Barbera's works of art and was created with the hopes of taking the reader on a very special journey into the unknown and frightening world that is the mind of Thomas M. Malafarina.
