Four Gathered on Christmas Eve HC

2024 Eisner Award Winner - Best Short Story (Becky Cloonan - The Kelpie)

Four tales of the bizarre and terrifying to keep you company on the cold yule night. A unique approach to the ghost story format where the creators themselves become part of the story in this deluxe edition hard cover designed by the award-winning Phil Balsman.

Four renowned cartoonists come together in this anthology created in the spirit of the Victorian tradition of swapping ghost stories on Christmas Eve. The crew of an experimental airship bound for Mars is plagued by a vengeful, ethereal stowaway in author Powell's (Did You Hear What Ed Gein Done?) and illustrator James Harren's (Ultramega) "Eyes in the Primordial Dark." Becky Cloonan's (Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods) unnervingly sensuous offering "The Kelpie" reveals what befalls a lonely woman when she offers room and board to a mysterious stranger. Mike Mignola (Hellboy in Love) presents a new spin on one of Lewis Carroll's classic creations in his deliriously atmospheric offering, "Night of the Jaberwok."
