Spook House

    (IDW, 2004)
™ and © 2004 Scott Hampton, Robert E. Howard Properties, LLC., & Clive Barker

Robert E. Howard’s prose horror story “Pigeons From Hell,” involving a spooky old house in the New England woods is scary enough on its own. But adapted into comic book form with the dark, moody paintings of Scott Hampton, it’s almost to be frightening to be read after dark. Don’t turn off the lights when reading the tales in this collection, which include stories drawn from Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser” mythos; adaptations of the classic “The Monkey’s Paw” and Algernon Blackwood’s “A Haunted Island”; and other works of fiction.

The first volume includes several original stories, while the second includes a prose story (“Hic Jacet”) with accompanying illustrations. In an introduction Hampton reveals his love of collaboration and then proves it, creating eerie works even scarier than the original yarns.
