What Is Cellar Door?
Do you love being scared? Do twist endings stay with you for days? Is Halloween your favorite holiday?
When people say, “Stop wearing black” you say “I will when they make a darker color?”
Then do I have the book for you.
Cellar Door is a 150-page sci-fi horror graphic novel anthology featuring 15 tales of terror cut from the same cloth as H.P. Lovecraft and The Twilight Zone.
WARNING: FOR MATURE READERS ONLY.
“Cellar Door” is available as a deluxe hardcover collection featuring book ribbon and spot gloss, and in digital formats.
What Is It About?
When an author retreats to a secluded manor to overcome writer’s block, he finds a hungry reader literally foaming at the mouth for his work.
Now, he must feed the creature stories, or be consumed himself.
What follows are 15 stories from new and veteran comic book creators that will leave you wondering if you should be more afraid of the dark…or of yourself.
Featuring:
- A man travels back in time to murder his father and gets caught in a mind-blowing loop in “The Oedipus Paradox”
- A group of travelers search for eternal life in an abandoned cathedral only to find certain death in the form of “The Clockwork Man”
- Three teens in search of a good scare unearth the legend of “Digger’s Grove”
- …and many more grisly tales.
Some stories are a love letter to 80s slashers. Others are a homage to the old “Creepy” or “House of Secrets” comics. Still others boast twists from “The Outer Limits” or “The Twilight Zone.” The result is a masterpiece of the macabre in a horrifyingly handsome hardcover that you’ll be thrilled to share with all of your friends.
Why You Can’t Miss Cellar Door!
Look, sometimes we love horror just because we love feeling our skin crawl. We love how our hearts pump when adrenaline races through our veins. BUT, sometimes, we want horror to show us the side of ourselves we’re afraid to look at. We want to finish a book and be so stunned that we have to sit in silence…and make sure the lights are on.
This book gets HEAVY. Murder, slavery, memory manipulation, cults, time travel…this stuff isn’t for everyone. But if it’s for you, then you need this book!
Featuring The Talents Of:
Thanks so much for checking out Cellar Door. It’s a collection of some of the most creative and talented people I know in comics.
Some, like my wife, are first time comic creators. Others, like Rafael Nieves, have worked for Marvel, Moonstone, and more publishers than I could shake a stick at.
You’ll love the variety of talent, styles, and themes. But mostly, I hope this book scares you and leaves you thinking afterward.
Horror stories are a way for us to face our fears in a fun way. It lets us talk about the stuff that we need to talk about but might scare us too much to think about.
I hope you check it out.
Keep moving forward,
