Eric Haven

Cryptoid

On sale date: February 11, 2020

This is a literary collection of interconnected comics stories about monsters — giant monsters, tiny monsters, robot monsters, cosmic monsters — some of whom work for the benefit of humankind, others as agents of chaos.

Taking place over different planes of existence, trippy and deadpan, the stories share a perspective seen from a world gone horribly wrong. Worlds behind worlds are revealed — including our own.

Praise

"Haven is a comics parodist of the highest order." — Booklist

"His draftsmanship evokes some sort of sweet spot between '70s underground comix, '90s alt-comics, and classic serialized strips featuring strange creatures and square-jawed, Flash Gordon types. But his sensibilities, even more than the glorious art, are the real selling point. I don't think I've come across such an eclectic mix of hilarity and horror and wonderment." — Under the Radar

"Eric Haven takes an idiosyncratically weird approach to the horror genre of the Weird to produce a hybrid graphic novella that belongs to no genre but his own." — PopMatters
