Volume Three:
Modern Horror
A Limited Edition
Art Publication.
“Horror is no longer the monsters under your bed; it's the monsters in your head.”
This volume examines modern horror as a genre defined by reinvention. From psychological dread to social allegory, contemporary horror has become one of cinema’s most daring and politically resonant spaces.
Curated by Layered Butter, this volume features original artwork and essays that explore how modern horror reflects cultural anxiety, identity, and power—spotlighting filmmakers, films, and movements that have reshaped the genre for a new era.
