Reign in Blood

I finished reading Reign in Blood by D.X. Ferris from Continuum's 33 1/3 series. I've only read two other titles in this series - Unknown Pleasures and Meat is Murder. I'd have to say this was the most accessible of the three and it had really good coverage of the album as a whole. What I found interesting was the mention of artist, Larry Carroll, responsible for the memorable artwork on Reign in Blood. The 3-foot mixed media piece was given away by the artist who, in turn, sold it. Damn shame, because it's the most epic piece of album artwork and it still scares me.

You can read an interesting interview with Larry here. He also mentions what happened with the original piece.
