Two horrific haunts in one chilling collection from the beloved R.L. Stine, penning his first comic series for his adult fans!If you dare, get into the sinister spirit of the season and join The Nightmare Keeper for two fresh forays into the Stuff of Nightmares universe! First, comic creator Alex Oxaca has been out of the spotlight for decades, and he’ll wish he’d remained in obscurity soon enough… RED MURDER was the smash hit title of the early 2000s, and will come back from the past in more ways than one during the 20th anniversary celebration of the title! A real ax murderer, eerily parallel to the hatchet-wielding killer in the comic, starts chopping down equally real victims, bringing a whole new meaning to HorrorCon. And…as malls continue to die, a down-and-out former mall Santa named Heinrick Fiddler’s rage turns to madness, and he’s dead-set on making sure department store shopping isn’t the only thing that’s deceased in SLAY RIDE! Bestselling Fear Street and Goosebumps author R.L. Stine is joined by Bram Stoker Award-nominated artist Pius Bak (Eat the Rich) and acclaimed artist Adam Gorham (Dune: Blood of the Sardaukar, The Blue Flame) for two standalone tales directly from your most demented dreams! Collects Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder, Stuff of Nightmares: Slay Ride.

But everything changes when he crosses a line and is shot dead on the sidewalk.Waking up in Hell, Dario faces a future of pain and suffering… unless he can turn eternal damnation into a business opportunity. The Devil is in the details, and Dario’s dealing a dangerous hand when it comes to gambling with the biggest guy in the down below: Satan himself. It’s a high-stakes game that he can’t afford to lose. Lose the play, lose your soul. Can this sinner become a winner?Just remember: It’s not personal – it’s strictly business. Mostly.Godfather of Hell: where gangster noir and exorcist terror collide!
