Carbon Transfer Printing is a book about one of the earliest photographic processes that provided the first permanent printing methods, available in one form or another for over 150 years. This book reviews the extensive history of carbon transfer and related pigment processes in both monochrome and color, to serve as point source for a new carbon printer to begin to master the craft of carbon printing, as well as provide new material for experienced carbon printers so they can expand their techniques. The book includes never-before-published information on pre-sensitizing carbon tissue with newly identified compounds, information on the safe use and disposal of hexavalent chromium compounds, and simplified methods of producing 3-color carbon prints.

Carbon Transfer Printing is divided into two parts, illustrated with 175 photographs. Part One is a complete how-to on the carbon transfer process, from simple to complex, with a troubleshooting guide and an extensive chapter on digital negatives. Part Two is devoted to contemporary carbon printers who share their methods and secrets to creating their beautiful carbon prints.

Four months to the day he first encountered the boy at Walmart, the last of Phil Pendelton's teeth fell out.At first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just an ordinary father and son, no different from any other. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. Some might say he spoils his son by allowing him to set his own bedtimes and eat candy whenever he wants. Some might say that such leniency is starting to take its toll on the father, given how his health has declined.What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before. But now Adam is in his life, altering and controlling it, and it will take a particular kind of horror to get him out. Because there is nothing ordinary about Adam, or the monsters that come when he calls.

Convicted murderer Marion Marshall Dix claims to have returned from the same Hell after being deposited there by an earthquake. Multinational conglomerate CalEx wants the discovery first … so a bad-ass team is organized to go get it, pronto.Except the subsurface labyrinth known as the Underneath is not without its own civilization — not a Biblical Hell, but a practical one, which has just begun to send emissaries topside after years in shadow. One of these, a half-human, half-gargoyle named Kartkas, also acts as a “guide” for the exploratory sortie.But this first contact isn't so civilized. The Underneath teems with real monsters and double-crosses to challenge both our firepower, and the occult expertise of team lead Stephanie Billings, who has to tell the entire story of a “first contact” that actually dates back centuries — to our oldest fears, to our most classic nightmares of demons, devils and the battle to survive against them.

For the last six years, comic legend Frank Tieri has been offering up tales of monsters, both human and supernatural, creeping in the streets of Brooklyn. As it turns out, these big city beasties, be they ghosts, vampires, windigoes or simply human beings bent on revenge, have been responsible for events as widespread as the Coney Island fire of 1911, the ’77 NY blackout, and even the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn. The “truth” behind all these events is not what the public thinks it is. But thankfully, Tieri is here to set things straight. This includes all six of his stories from John Carpenter’s Tales for A HalloweeNight, including A Haunting Grows in Brooklyn, The Ghosts of Steeplechase, The Beast of Brooklyn Heights, The Brooklyn Basher, The Night the Lights Went Out in Brooklyn and The Cryptid Killers. As an added bonus to the collection, Tieri has penned a seventh story, writing himself into the narrative, to tie these events and characters together. All seven stories are illustrated to perfection by his frequent collaborator Cat Staggs. You’ll never look at New York the same way again.

They settle into a conversation that immediately disturbs young William. It is the story of an elderly man hoping to experience the amusement park one last time to recapture childhood memories, to relish the rapidly fleeting remaining moments.Instead of pleasant memories, each attraction becomes a surreal microcosm of aging and its inherent challenges as bodies and minds begin to break down.

Finally, he winds up right back where he started, battered both mentally and physically. Instead of being able to leave the park, he realizes he is trapped in a loop, forced to relive the harrowing experience over and over. At the end of the elderly man’s tale, William is puzzled, concerned, and annoyed, irritated to have had his time wasted on such a story.William quickly realizes that not everything in the coffee shop is as it seems.
