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...
TOMORROW!

Weird Halloween Romance NOT BRAND ECHH "Best Side Story"

What if the Silver Age Doctor Strange and Wonder Woman fell in love?
We'd probably have ended up with a serious version of this titanic tale!
Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Tom Sutton, this comic company crossover classic was included in Marvel's Not Brand Echh! #6 (1968)...

...a romance-oriented issue that also included a look at how a Human Scorch (Human Torch)/Gristle (Crystal) marriage would work out, and Spidey-Man (do I haveta tell you?) marrying the unlikeliest character of all!
Spoiler Alert: Its' The Wasp!
Welcome to our annual Weird Halloween Romance Blogathon, this year tied in to the wild Countdown to Halloween 2019 Blogathon covering so many kool pop-culture blogs (including this one), it's scary!
Every post this month is cross-genre, whether its' superheroes (like this one), horror, fantasy, or sci-fi!
Be here every Wednesday for more "horrible" fun!
BTW, filming on the Stephen Spielberg-directed remake of West Side Story just wrapped!
