Eek! Returning for a second gory year is the TALES FROM THE CRYPT CALENDAR, based on the classic EC Comics that Stephen King said “summed up for me the epitome of horror.” Each month comes an illustration—certain to elicit a shriek and a shudder—from such memorable stories as “Practical Choke,” “The Thing from the Grave,” and “Horror We?” Culled from the comic’s heyday in the early 1950s, the illustrations represent the best work of Jack Davis, Graham Ingels, Johnny Craig, and other masters of the genre. “A perfect guilty pleasure, like a dead lover coming back for a final kiss” (Neil Gaiman).
