Exclusive Preview: The Art and Making of Penny Dreadful

Can you find your way through the shadows?

Last year, Showtime introduced viewers to Penny Dreadful, a Victorian era horror series created by Skyfall screenwriter John Logan that united several iconic characters from Frankenstein, Dracula and The Portrait of Dorian Gray in a terrifying new tale.

Penny Dreadful is headlined by a cast that includes Eva Green (Casino Royale), Josh Hartnett (Sin City), Timothy Dalton (License to Kill) and Billie Piper (Doctor Who). The second season of Penny Dreadful is heading to Showtime next month, but Titan Books is releasing the official companion book later this month.

The Art and Making of Penny Dreadful was written by Sharon Gosling and it features an extensive behind-the-scenes look at the series with several previously unseen photos and images in addition to interviews with the creator, cast and crew.

Titan Books has provided CraveOnline with an exclusive preview from the book which you can see below:
