Book review: Tales of Terror horror anthology

I’ve been on a graphic kick lately and as far as I’m concerned spooky season is never over, so I was super excited to get my hands on a copy of Tales of Terror! It’s a graphic horror anthology with eight short stories.

In this collection of nine bone-chilling and blood-curdling shorts, we see a soldier face a horror worse than death, a space pioneer’s false Eden and a little boy’s insomnia that ends in tragedy to name a few. From creators Paul Azaceta, Alex Paknadel, Sebastian Girner, Kit Mills, Steve Fox and many more.

If you’re looking for variety or just wanting to dip your toe into graphic horror for the first time, Tales of Terror is definitely your go-to. The stories span all types of horror — ghosts, vampires, cryptids, aliens, hallucinations, demon possession, crooked cops, and more. The settings take place from the bottom of the ocean to outer space and everything in between. Subgenres within horror are represented in these short stories, including science fiction, historical fiction, mystery/whodunnit, and even humor. There really is something for everyone.
