Books
Scalora illustrated Francesca Lia Block's 1989 book Weetzie Bat. In 1995, Scalora launched website "Myth.com" about the ethereal world featuring her photographic artistry and which has been described "ambitious" and "intriguing." Scalora illustrated Lynne Ewing's book The Talisman. Scalora's (1999) The Fairies: Photographic Evidence of the Existence of Another World was described as one of the "ten best picture books of the year" by Newsweek magazine. Newsweek book critic David Gates described the digital images as "glossy, spookily lovely processed photos" in a book which was purportedly about "a scholarly expedition to document and catalog fairies" in which "kids will see a visionary world of sadness and cruelty, beauty and grace." A critic at USA Today described Scalora's The Witches and Wizards of Oberin and The Fairies as "gorgeously illustrated books" adding that "little ones (children) will love the magical pics; the older set will have fun recognizing some of today’s famous faces." In 2009, Scalora wrote Evidence of Angels in collaboration with Francesca Lia Block on a book for teenage readers with photographic evidence that "fairies are real."
