Halloween HeartBreak GOTHIC TALES OF HAUNTED LOVE "Crush"

Just When You Believe American Romance Comics in General...

...and Gothic Romance Comics in Particular, Died Out, Along Comes a Kool Anthology of Them!

Scripted by Janet Hetherington, rendered by Ronn Sutton, and colored by Bekka Kinzie, this tale from Bedside Press' Gothic Tales of Haunted Love is a wild variation on the "handsome widowed sea captain and the beautiful virginal governess" plot that was a classic Victorian romance trope which still has a happy ending, even without the sea captain...or perhaps due to not having the sea captain!

Laugh at Love/Beach Read FORBIDDEN BRIDES OF THE FACELESS SLAVES IN THE SECRET HOUSE OF THE NIGHT OF DREAD DESIRE Part 1

Welcome to our annual "beach read" book-length gothic novel...

...this time, with a twist, as only the amazing Neil Gaiman can deliver it!

Neil Gaiman took his prose short story from the 2005 Scholastic Publishing anthology Gothic! (winning the 2005 Locus Award for Best Short Story), satirizing gothic romance novel tropes and, with artist Shane Oakley, made it into a graphic novel satirizing gothic romance comic books/graphic novels!
You'll note the difference between the harried writer's world (in full color) and the world of the story he's writing (in muted, almost black-and-white tones)!
But there are even more fascinating aspects to this tale, as you shall see...
