The Dark Horse Book of Monsters now in stores
The Dark Horse Book of Monsters, the fourth and final entry in DHC's horror anthology series, is now available at more well-rounded comic shops and bookstores. It features a twenty-page story painted by Jill Thompson and written by Sarah and I, "A Dog and His Boy", which continues the adventures of the supernatural-battling canines (and feline) seen in the previous three volumes. Two of these stories, "Stray", and "The Unfamiliar", have won Eisner awards, the former for Best Painted/Multimedia Interior Art, the latter for Best Short Story.
Other contributors to the Book of Monsters include Mike Mignola (who offers up a new Hellboy story), Kurt Busiek, Keith Giffen, Scott Allie and Gary Giann, who provides illustrations for a prose short story by long-dead English horror writer William Hope Hodgson.
The Dark Horse Book of Monsters is a 96-page hardcover which retails for $15.95, and is from the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics (duh).
