Here’s a few Halloween reading suggestions.<\/p>\n

1. Floyd Gottfredson<\/a>‘s “Mickey Mouse and the Seven Ghosts”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Greg Irons and Tom Veitch<\/a>‘s “Legion of Charlies”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Jack Kirby’s The Demon<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Hideshi Hino’s Hell Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Richard Sala<\/a>‘s The Chuckling Whatsit<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bonus: Kelly Link recommends<\/a> Lynda Barry<\/a>‘s Cruddy<\/span> for the holiday, a book I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never read, even though my wife recommended it to me years ago when we first started dating. I might give it a try tonight. Why am I more willing to take advice from a stranger on the Internet than from someone whose tastes I know and trust? That is a recurring thing with me, and it is seriously messed up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not recommended: The Nightmare Factory<\/span>, a new collection of comics based on the work of horror writer Thomas Ligotti<\/a>. Most of the art here is seriously ugly (and not in a good way). This recent interview<\/a> with Ligotti is somewhat alarming Halloween reading, though. I think he needs to watch some Laurel & Hardy movies or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
