Publisher's Synopsis

This tongue-in-cheek horror novel, which manages to both parody and celebrate elements of modern horror is the latest book by Sala, author of such delightfully macabre books as Peculia, The Chuckling Whatsit, Maniac Killer Strikes again! and the Evil Eye comic book series. This book features several characters from his Peculia tales - stories which revolve around a mysterious waif-like girl, her very strange acquaintances and her tendency, through no fault of her own, to find herself facing a variety of awful cratures and ghastly goings-on.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
