“A collection of strange, dark, and mysterious stories that’ll leave you questioning whether the screams you heard coming from the basement are imagined or actually real.”—The Beat

“Told in a conversational style reminiscent of traditional campfire storytellers (with a caricature of MrBallen appearing throughout), these retellings occur across time and place . . . All the stories are creepy and will leave readers with a chill, as all remain unexplained. Mutti’s illustrations are finely drawn with a raw feel.”—Booklist

“MrBallen’s lurid narration brings to mind old EC horror comics . . . Mutti’s lush art excels at creating eerie atmosphere, shocking the reader with moments of gore, and making the supernatural and mundane menaces feel equally plausible. Most of the tales take place in the great outdoors, and the art successfully evokes shadowy forests, snowbound mountains, blistering deserts, and isolated cabins. This spooky collection of campfire tales will appeal to horror and true crime fans.”—Publishers Weekly
