Reviews

Snifter of Terror is the EC Comics-meets-Mad Magazine book you'll want to read.
 
A tantalizing new collection of frightful stories ….. It's a refreshing measure of the macabre from some of the genre's top talent, with a unique twist on the source material.

 
A zany look at horror through the weird interpretive lens of a drunk Edgar Allan Poe as your guide through classic tales of the macabre.
