In the storytelling tradition of the 1950s Horror Comics like EC Comics with their signature “twist” endings (see Shock Suspense Stories, Crime Suspense Stories, Tales from the Crypt), I produced a 102-page graphic novel. It was my first book and includes 6 short horror stories (a 44-page story, two 22-page stories, and three flash fiction stories). Vanity Affair (22 pages) In a world where physical beauty is paramount, people will stop at nothing to achieve perfection … even if it causes them to turn a blind eye to the pitfalls of vanity. No Such Thing as Ghosts (22 pages) The measures we take to maintain our grip on reality … are nothing compared to what we do to mask it. Chasing Shadows (44 pages) Dying to make a name for himself in the anthropological world, Professor Eulokai will stop at nothing to find the lost ruins of the Karthan Civilization. Coercing one of the university’s brightest students into assisting him, the professor and his assistant set out on a perilous journey deep into the jungles of South America … but sometimes achieving your greatest feat is the last thing you’ll ever do. *All fonts used in the production of Gruesome Tales are courtesy of Blambot.com*
