Rather than fearing death, embrace it and celebrate life. Day of the Dead, or Dia de Los Muertos, is celebrated throughout Latin America as a way to honor departed loved ones. This massive, full-color, hardcover book celebrates the worldwide counterculture art that has sprung up around this holiday, including tattoos, street art, costumes, sugar skulls, movies, cartoons, and literature.
