JOE R. LANSDALE WRITES TALES FROM THE CRYPT
Award-Winning Novelist Contributes New Work to Classic Horror Comic

Booklist calls him “an immense talent.” The New York Times Book Review
praises his “folklorist’s eye for telling detail” and “ front-porch
raconteur’s sense of pace.” He’s won five Bram Stoker horror awards . .
.

. . . And now Joe R. Lansdale, best-selling author of Leather Maiden,
Bubba Ho-Tep, and The Bottoms, is writing TALES FROM THE CRYPT! In
issue #7’s “Moonlight Sonata,” written with Lansdale’s brother John and
drawn by Chris Noeth, a mugger thinks he's hit the jackpot when his
victim's keys open a millionaire's house; but things change when he
finds werewolves in the basement. The issue also contains “Ignoble
Rot,” by Fred Van Lente and Steve Mannion (in which a womanizing player
picks on the wrong female in New Orleans’ French Quarter) and
black-humor introductions by Jim Salicrup and Rick Parker.

TALES FROM THE CRYPT, published bi-monthly, is a 48-page full-color
revival of the classic 1950s horror comic book. Issue #7, cover-priced
at $3.95, is on sale now.
