Eight Dolls for an Autumn Moon is a photography book by Kristin Gallegos, inspired by the stylish Italian Giallo films of the '60s and '70s.
Paying homage to directors like Dario Argento and Mario Bava, the narrative weaves paranoia, fear, and obsession into the world of a fashion photographer desperate to save her model friends from a serial killer. Each intertwined vignette focuses on one of eight women, all inspired by iconic Giallo actresses, as they are stalked, blackmailed, and ultimately hunted.
The story delves into the intersection of fame, fear, and the unsettling vulnerability of being a woman, with cinematic influences and subtle references scattered throughout.
