When I interviewed for a job at Kalin Davis's advertising firm, I didn't think I would interview with him personally.

    Beginning as the unofficial photographer for punk legends The Misfits and later taking charge of the bass guitar as a founding member of underground pioneers Samhain and metal gods Danzig, the evil eye of Eerie Von's camera captured the dark heart of rock's most vital and bleeding-edge period, a time when rock and roll was not only dangerous, but downright menacing. Eerie Von's lens has documented everything from The Misfits' humble beginnings in Lodi, New Jersey, to the heights of Danzig's stadium-rock glory alongside metal superstars Metallica. As well as an essential visual document of music history, Eerie's road stories of triumph and damnation bring to life an era the likes of which will never again be seen.

    I’m just his maid, he’ll never love me…Late at night he sits at his desk, necktie loosened, the sleeves of his crisp cotton shirt rolled up to his bulging biceps.How I wish I could run my fingers through his hair, graze my nose against his cheek and massage his tense, muscular shoulders.How I’ve tried to get his attention.Prancing around him in cute little dresses, my cheeks a rosy shade of pink.Dropping a crumpled tissue on the floor to give him a peek as I bend over to pick it up.Spending half my salary on expensive perfumes just to give him a whiff of me as he rushes past.Anything to make him grab me and kiss me as he does to Stacey!Instead, all I ever get is a polite smile when I pour his morning coffee.The only time he notices me is when I burn his toast.Then his eyes turn red, his fists clench, and his powerful voice rumbles from deep within his chest.It makes my heart race…Maybe I should burn his toast again this morning.Smolder it to ashes.Then he’ll really give it to me.

    His images, published in Life magazine, brought the war home, scorching the consciousness of the public and inspiring much of the anti-war sentiment that convulsed American society in the 1960s. To see these photo essays today, gathered in one volume and augmented by unpublished images from the Burrows archive, is to experience (or to relive), with extraordinary immediacy, both the war itself and the effect and range of Larry Burrows’s gifts—his courage: to shoot “The Air War,” he strapped himself and his camera to the open doorway of a plane . . . his reporter’s instinct: accompanying the mission of the helicopter Yankee Papa 13, he captured the transformation of a young marine crew chief experiencing the death of fellow marines . . . and his compassion: in “Operation Prairie” and “A Degree of Disillusion” he published profoundly affecting images of exhausted, bloodied troops and maimed Vietnamese children, both wounded, physically and psychologically, by the ever-escalating war.The photographs Larry Burrows took in Vietnam, magnificently reproduced in this volume, are brutal, poignant, and utterly truthful, a stunning example of photojournalism that recorded history and achieved the level of great art. Indeed, in retrospect, says David Halberstam in his moving introduction, “Larry Burrows was as much historian as photographer and artist. Because of his work, generations born long after he died will be able to witness and understand and feel the terrible events he recorded. This book is his last testament.”With 150 illustrations, 100 in full color
