Written by Neil Gaiman. Art and cover by Shane Oakley.

A celebrated send-up of gothic literature, beautifully adapted into a dark, brooding, and oddly comical graphic novel.

Somewhere in the night, a raven caws, an author's pen scratches, and thunder claps. The author wants to write nonfiction: stories about frail women in white nightgowns, mysterious bumps in the night, and the undead rising to collect old debts. But he keeps getting interrupted by the everyday annoyances of talking ravens, duels to the death, and his sinister butler.

Shane Oakley beautifully illustrates New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's satirical tale.

Hardcover, 112 pages, full color.

NOTE: "It's about what fantasy is, and why we write it, and what it would mean to write fantasy if you lived in a Gothic universe."-Neil Gaiman

Mister X: The Brides of Mister X and Other Stories - 1st printing. After revolutionizing the worlds of design and storytelling in 1984, Dean Motter's Mister X returned half a decade later to reinvent alternative comics again for a whole new audience. Returning to the story of Radiant City's mysterious architect and his sleepless quest to repair the flaw in its design that is driving its citizens mad, the second version of Motter's creation used the black-and-white format to introduce deeper shadows and more expressionistic angles to its Art Deco world. With an edgier look and starker themes, this take on Mister X is as groundbreaking today as it was twenty years ago. Hardcover, 320 pages, B&W. Cover price $49.99.

By Dean Owen. Introduction by Richard A. Ekstedt.

Everyone in the village of Badstein knows how to eliminate the vampire preying on its young daughters: find the coffin he sleeps in during the day and drive a wooden stake through his heart. But how can you find your quarry if you don't know who he is and your suspects are many? There's the Latour with the dark-complexion, who is given to wandering at night and sleeping during the day. There's the handsome Baron Meinster, who is supposedly traveling in the Orient but rumored to be hiding in his ancient chateau. Then, there's the stranger, Professor Van Helsing. The quarry could be anyone. Meanwhile, the victims multiply — all young females marked with the telltale sign of the vampire bites.

This is the first volume of The NightMare Series from noted film historian and author, Philip J. Riley. The purpose of the series is to preserve the 1950s and 1960s horror film movie tie-in novels that were printed on old crumbling pulp paper and to bring them back in this new format for a new century. These are the original novels by various authors, not the scripts as in the editor's Filmonster Series and the MagicImage Filmbook series.
