Shock Shop #4

Dark Horse's horror anthology Shock Shop reaches its fourth installment, and the cover alone makes a compelling case for the series. Two skeletal figures — one cradling the other in a crossed-arm embrace — are bound together by thorned, blood-red vines that curl around their pale, cracked bones, all set against an ornate scrollwork frame and a dim, foreboding treeline. Cullen Bunn, Danny Luckert, and Nate Piekos bring a genuinely unsettling elegance to this 2022 Dark Horse release that horror fans will want on their shelf.
