Hammett is an avid collector horror memorabilia and Gibson.com reports that the guitarist is about to share a part of his collection in a new book.

Too Much Horror Business – The Kirk Hammett Collection, due out this October, will include 300 images of items from Hammett’s personal archive, with captions written by the guitarist and a three-part interview about his passion for horror.

"This is my gift to all the other horror nerds out there who are just like me,” Kirk said in a press release. "It’s been made with great love for all the many characters and movies which guided me through childhood, into adulthood and which still keep me on track today.”

Some of Kirk's collection will be on display in the Kirk's Crypt exhibition at the band's Orion Music & More Festival in Atlantic City this weekend.
