The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of
CREEPY #7 from Dark Horse Comics. This black-and-white 48-pager contains five
short tales of horror from various writers and artists.
The stories: MUD is a revenge story in which a young lad
learns an important lesson through supernatural means. THE SHROUD finds a
down-on-their-luck young couple falling victim to forces well beyond their
control. BLOODSUCKERS provides us with a fascinating Florida twist on a classic vampire tale. We
witness the horrors of losing oneself in drug abuse in the Twilight Zone-esque THE
ULTIMATE HIGH. And DEEP RUBY gives us a brief glimpse of the price of greed.
Being a bit of a classic horror fan (such as Lovecraft and
pre-gore vampire movies), I found this collection very enjoyable. The stories
were brief but satisfying, and I thought the art styles helped to sell the
emotions of each piece. I will definitely be checking out more of this series.
CREEPY #7 releases on January 25th at your FLCS or by order
from darkhorse.com.
