Description

Hungry for humor Tuck into these darkly funny horror stories starring creepy-cute food folk, presented in a photographed diorama-comic format that brings the stories to colorfully disturbing life. Inspired by Tales from the Crypt and perfect fare for readers of All My Friends are Dead and Awkward Yeti "A playfully morbid" horror anthology "filled with color and great artistic detail" (Book Riot). Tuck into these darkly funny horror stories served as an utterly unforgettable graphic novel of hand-sculpted dioramas. The Cake Creeper cordially invites you to a delicious and diabolical feast . . . where he'll serve you a slice of tasty terror. Enter the world of Bites of Terror, a gleefully macabre anthology of cautionary tales. Meet an ice-cream cone who regrets a wish granted by a sinister salesman, a quarantined strawberry trying to escape a deathly mold outbreak, and a widowed watermelon dying to regrow her husband from a seed. In the tradition of Tales from the Crypt and other classic horror comics, Bites of Terror presents a tasty combination of horror and humor that reflects the human condition.
