Review Overview

From the mastermind behind Goosebumps, comes a new comic book that’s sure to give you the creeps. Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder is a horrifying tale perfect for the spooky season.

The comic book world is all about creators claiming their rights and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder touches on this idea of comic creator rights in an interesting way. We follow Alex Oxaca, a comic creator who disappears in the ether after the immense success of his comic, Red Murder. When he returns, he realizes that his once beloved creation has become a real-life nightmare.

What makes Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder stand out is the way it integrates comic book creation into the plot. The comic creator’s angle is outstanding. It’s an admiration of the craft and an inspired way of storytelling. The story explores how the lines between fiction and reality can blur and how art can inspire terror. The comic effortlessly takes the reader on a horrific journey that blurs the line between fantasy and reality.

The narration of the comic book is a great touch as well. The Nightmares Keeper’s narration is spine-chillingly good. It sets the mood and gives the reader a sense that they’re in for a bone-chilling ride. It’s a feeling that lasts from the very first page until the very last. The visuals also play a big part in the mood of the story. Adam Gorham‘s art is a perfect match for the gruesome and dark world of Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder.

This comic book is perfect for the spooky season, as it will have you flipping through the pages with anxiety and fear. RL Stine‘s writing has always been exceptional, and that hasn’t changed. He’s a master of suspense and horror, and Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder is no exception. The comic book will have you second-guessing every move and holding your breath with each chilling revelation.

Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder is well-told, and it’s not afraid to take the reader to dark places. It’s an exploration of comic creator rights, the relationship between artists and their creations, and the power of horror. It’s a fantastic read for any fans of the horror genre, and it’s perfect for those who love a good scare.

Stuff of Nightmares: Red Murder #1 hits local comic shops on September 27, 2023 from BOOM! Studios.
