Stuff of Nightmares #4

Francesco Francavilla's cover for this fourth issue of R.L. Stine's Stuff of Nightmares is a masterclass in pulp horror atmosphere — a glowing-eyed, skeletal figure in a long coat strides through a fog-drenched graveyard while a somber man trails behind him, offering up a human brain on a platter. Lurching figures emerge from the tombstones in the background, all set against a blood-orange sky and a looming haunted house that feels ripped straight from a classic horror paperback. BOOM! Studios and Stine's creative team of A.L. Kaplan and Roman Titov deliver a perfectly unsettling package that any fan of old-school fright will want on their shelf.
