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...

when We Continue...

Pride in Print DREAM DADDY "Much Abird About Nothing"

We conclude this month's Pride theme with...

...daddies.
Single daddies...who just happen to be gay.
Gee, they seem like...well...typical guys!
And, to answer an obvious question, the bird in the story's title is about to steal a couple of fries, but since that's a multi-page plotline, we suggest you get the graphic novel (conveniently-listed below) to see the rest of the tale!
Written by Wendy Xu and illustrated by Ryan Maniulit, this is from the first issue of an Oni Press 2018 six-issue mini-series about an interactive computer gaming app called Dream Daddy: a Dad Dating Simulator which allows the player to create an on-line character to interact with a number of existing characters whose backstories are told in this series!
Next Month:
July is dedicated to...
...with stories from both the 1960s Dell comic and the 1990s Marvel comic!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
