Les Contes du cimetière - Grave / Denaeus #[nn]

Richard Corben's distinctive painted artwork commands the cover of this 2018 Delirium collection, depicting a decayed, pale-haired corpse rising from among weathered gravestones, clutching a grinning skull with bare, bony hands — the atmosphere of fog and dead branches completing the unsettling scene. Grave: Les Contes du Cimetière promises exactly what the title delivers: dark, richly rendered tales set amid the dead. Fans of Corben's unmistakable approach to horror imagery will find this French-language volume a compelling addition to their shelf.
