Neil Gaiman's Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire

In 2017, Dark Horse brought Neil Gaiman's delightfully meta short story to comics, with Shane Oakley's intricate, gothic artwork realizing the tale of a beleaguered writer struggling to craft a proper horror story in a world where the macabre is mundane. This single-issue adaptation captures the author's characteristic blend of dark fantasy and literary playfulness, offering a wry commentary on the conventions of genre fiction. It's a brief but memorable standalone for collectors of Gaiman's work and fans of cleverly self-aware horror.
