Modern Fables for a Darker World

• The Anthology: This volume collects four chilling, self-contained stories that take the familiar tropes of "afterschool specials" and subvert them into something far more sinister. From extraterrestrial encounters to blood-soaked social pressures, each tale serves as a cautionary warning for the modern age.

• Masterful Storytelling: Benson and Moorhead bring their signature "indie-horror" sensibilities to the comic book medium, crafting narratives that are as intellectually stimulating as they are terrifying.

• Diverse Art Styles: Featuring a rotating cast of incredible artists, the visual language of the book shifts to match the tone of each story, ranging from clean and clinical to dark and expressive.

• The Skybound Standard: Published under Robert Kirkman's Skybound imprint, this collection maintains the high-quality production and innovative storytelling the label is known for.
