Zombie Terrors and EEEK! from Asylum Press

Asylum Press has already brought us the blood-chilling horror anthologies The Asylum of Horrors #1 and The Asylum of Horrors #2 (LOVE that cover), and it looks like they are going to strike again… make that a double-strike! Two horror anthologies from Asylum Press are dropping just in time for Halloween.

Zombie TerrorsThe first is Zombie Terrors, which is exciting not only because it showcases zombie stories in an impressively broad range of contemporary artistic styles, but because it also features lots of blood and boobs! The official synopsis: Asylum Press brings you a giant flesh rotting collection of all-new zombie tales. Featuring an international cast of artistic talent. Szymon Kudranski (Spawn) brings us ‘The Barber’, a tale of the undead and the Mob.

In ‘Creature Converts’, a cat lady’s feline friends develop a taste for the flesh. In ‘Feast’, a gangster’s taste for a delicacy becomes his end. In ‘Hate’, a zombie must confront what he’s become. Billy George brings us ‘The Undead Templars’, a tale of the blind dead.

In ‘The Jiang Shi’, we get a taste of Asian zombies, and Robert S. Rhine and Frank Forte deliver ‘Zombie Brain Feast’. Other tales include ‘Bond’, ‘Dead of Night’, and ‘Desert Church’ – over 15 flesh-eating tales to shock and horrify – plus an all-new tale by horror master Tim Vigil!

Check out these killer sample pages from the upcoming Asylum Press zombie horror graphic novel anthology, Zombie Terrors:

Black Hole

EEEK!The next slice of horror comic hell from Asylum Press is entitled EEEK!, for which they warn: This retro-style anthology of all-new horror tales is guaranteed to give you the eeries and the creepies!

Taking a pinch of black humour from EC comics and mixing it with the art stylings of House of Mystery and Warren comics, EEEK! blends a heady broth that hits you like a burning incense stick to the retina. Jason Paulos delivers the goods with over 15 tales of revenge, zombies, vampires, ghouls and monsters; each tale drawn in a different style reminiscent of the B&W horror mags of the ’70s and ’80s!

Asylum Press is taking a big risk here comparing the art in this book to the black and white masterpieces that haunted the pages of magazines like House of Mystery, Eerie, and Creepy. Very very few artists today can even dream of holding a candle to the classic horror magazine masters. To invoke the greatness of such an era gone by and then not do it justice would most likely not be received very well by horror fans. Black and white is such a fitting style for horror, I really hope they can pull it off, it would be great to see, and hopefully might inspire more homages to black and white horror comics, even if only for the sake of being “retro”.
