These horror and suspense tales — from the pages of Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Shock SuspenStories — include frightful fare such as \"Hyde and Go Shriek!\", \"Tombs-Day!\", \"Witch Witch's Witch!\", \"Head-Room!\", \"Chop Talk!\", \"Coffin Spell!\", and more, all leavened with the cackling, pun-laced humor of scripter Al Feldstein and illuminated as only the virtuoso brushwork of Jack Davis can present them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the standout story has to be \"Foul Play,\" the most infamous of all EC horror stories, in which a baseball team takes revenge on a murderous rival player by, um (spoiler alert), \"repurposing\" various parts of his anatomy for one final blood-spattered, organ-scattered inning. You'll never look at a baseball — or a baseball infield — the same way again. And as gruesome as that sounds (and is!), Davis deftly pulls it off with aplomb and a mordant sense of absurd humor that will have you cringing and laughing at the same time. Plus, not one, not two, but three Davis-driven adaptations of haunting short stories by Ray Bradbury: \"The Coffin!\", \"Let's Play Poison!\", and \"The Black Ferris!\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe round out this volume with all three of Davis's EC science-fiction adventures, and all five of his aerial war stories from the legendary EC title, Aces High. 40 stories in all, most scripted by EC legend Al Feldstein, plus in-depth commentary by EC experts Thommy Burns and Grant Geissman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WW NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50025598583093,"sku":"9781683969549","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/3030\/9430\/files\/ScreenShot2024-09-11at6.12.48PM.png?v=1726103577","url":"https:\/\/shop.floatingworldcomics.com\/products\/foul-play-and-other-stories","provider":"Floating World Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
