Read the synopsis from the publisher here:
Perfect for Christmas stocking stuffers. A collection of horror stories to read while curling up in the light of the Yulelog “Be of Good Fear!” Long before Americans celebrated horror on Halloween, Victorians celebrated it by gathering around the fireplace on Christmas Eve. Dread the Holes pays homage to this spooky tradition and wishes you and yours a “Happy Holidays” with tales of ghosts, gruesome abominations, and vile creatures. With covers by popular artists like Maria the Wolf and Marguerite Sauvage, a wrapper version by Jordan Hart, and a holiday homage cover by Lee Ferguson, spread the fear this season with frighteningly festive style. Masu.
Lee Ferguson (“Gone Fishing”), Jimmy Kukai (“Krampus Hunters”), Walter Pax (“Northerners”), and Fabio Velas (“Dead Note”) — “Next to a Burning Yule Log” Perfect for hardening.
Fans of Creepshow, The Deviant, Hello Darkness, and Epitaphs from the Abyss will love this spooky holiday crossover book. Hart gave The Beat an exclusive preview of Dead Notes and Veras’ art.
Hart explained:
“Dead Notes, the first story in DREAD THE HALLS, revolves around the not-so-jolly Carroll family,” said Jordan Hart. “I wanted to transform a familiar and comforting tradition into something insidious. I knew that the success of this idea depended on great artists.・I first learned of Bellas’ work when he appeared with Alex Gaylor last year on DC’s It was part of a story I was working on for Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun. I contacted him shortly after and was thrilled when he agreed to be a part of the project. His pencil and ink took the story to a whole new level.
