Description
For Ryan Matthew Cohn, artist, collector, and star of the Discovery Channel's Oddities, it all started with a boyhood fascination with the skeletal system. For his wife and collaborator Regina Rossi, who had built her career in the fashion industry, it began with a Christmas wish for a blinged-out skull. Soon after meeting, Ryan and Regina discovered their shared appreciation for the incredible beauty in our bodies' journey long afterlife deserts us and their passion for the world of strange and sometimes creepy objects. In The Witch's Door: Oddities & Tales from the Esoteric to the Extreme (Chronicle Prism; October 1, 2024; $30 Hardcover; ISBN: 978-1797229584), Ryan Matthew Cohn and Regina Rossi, trendsetting tastemakers in artifact collecting and founders of the Oddities Flea Market, welcome fans of curiosities (and anyone simply curious) inside the bizarre business that brought them together and introduce some of the unusual stuff and eccentric people they've encountered while doing what they love. The result is an engaging mix of memoir, exposé, how-to guide, and curated tour, filled with jaw-dropping photographs and unbelievable-but-true stories of exploded skulls, wax penises, and lots more. Enter at a high risk of spellbinding entertainment and come along on Ryan Matthew and Regina's adventures in artifact hunting, gathering, assessing, haggling, collecting, and curating.
