🖤 OPEN CASKETS 🖤

From writer Shaun Simon and artist Neil Sabatino, Open Caskets is a collection of dark, strange, and unforgettable stories following society's outsiders as they search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.

Connected through a support group where nothing is off limits, these oddballs and weirdos share tales that feel like they stepped straight out of The Twilight Zone.

✨ Every copy sold comes with a signed bookplate while stocks last!

Available now at Forbidden Planet and Worlds Apart.
