fiction in comics (Swamp Thing) and novels (Sunglasses After Dark,
VAMPS), assembled a team of today's most accomplished writers to
contribute "twisted tales, bizarre bedtime stories, and fearsome fables"

talents Gail Simone, Stephen R. Bissette, Elmo Eklabuz, Ronilson
Freire, Devin Grayson, Jack Jadson, Joe R. Lansdale, Elaine Lee, Stuart
Moore, Steve Niles, John Shirley, Denis St. John, and Eric Trautmann.
