After having seen some of Giger's work in Alien and some other more well know work I decided to buy Biomechanics. It was very good, but the Necronomicon is THE pilot book for all the rest of his works. It contains his most outstanding work as far as weird and the macabe go. A tour de force of his strange mind. A wonderous collection of strange and terrible images masterfully done. It is quite disturbing to look at but wonderfully fascinating at the same time. I guarantee if you buy this book you will not be able to put in down until you have read all the notes and seen every last picture, it's that good.

Here is an excellent foundation of H.R. Giger's work for those sci-fi die-hards who appreciate intense subjects in both text and art. This books shows a wide range of H.R.'s various styles, each one drilling through contemporary notions of form, etiquette, and courtesy. It is a no-nonsense expose' of the nightmare-ish alter-dimensional world of Giger's dreams which taps into the source of human fear. I most strongly recommend this and all the other art books by H.R Giger to all folks who can think for themselves, who can put reality, physics, religion, politics, morals, mathmatics, et. al. in their own separate boxes for a moment, and who seek a startling sidebar from the mundane world.

After receiving the Giger poster pack as a gift a couple of years ago I became instantly intrigued by Giger's work which is so unique and beautiful. This book perfectly illustrates the portrayal of images and synergy which giger expresses through his landscapes of deformed, yet compellingly beautiful creatures. Truly a genius who does not get the recognition he deserves. An excellent first choice for anyone who is curious about Giger's art.

Our human frame is boring in comparison.
This is the place you feel an uncomfortable familiarity with. It excites and scares you in unison, but nonetheless you wish to be in his world. Especially when the lights are dim. Read more

Life Doesn't Get Much Better Than This.
As Giger fans, we really enjoyed this book. The large high-quality format shows off Giger's work at its best. It makes a perfect gift for that special weirdo on your list.
