Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness By Gou Tanabe They are perfect for the season, and each deserves to be part of your Halloween countdown. Some are new, some are old, ranging from classic ghost stories to slow-burning head trip mysteries, but one thing unites them all. Rather than creating another generic list populated by the abovementioned mainstays, I've curated titles below that are a little more unsung. However, more than any other medium, it seems to be a taller task to wade through the decades of material to find quality comics that will line your nightmares. Sure, if you're a longtime comic book fan or a casual reader, you know the regular hits by now – Sandman, Hellboy, The Walking Dead, Locke & Key, and so on. The medium has a rich history of genre fare, but unfortunately, it remains untapped for most. Some of us turn to literature, looking to scratch those more obscure Stephen King novels off the list, or to get lost in a brand new page-turner. Many of us turn to movies, planning nightly schedules to revisit classics or discover hidden gems. Every Fall, as the days become shorter and the weather dips colder, our appetite as horror fans grows insatiable.
