fun horror could be. Since then he's immersed himself in comics, books,
toys, movies and television programs dealing with the macabre. A PR

fascination with horror began at age 8 when her uncle gave her a stack
of old Warren magazines. After reading those putrid periodicals cover to
cover until they were falling apart, she decided to devote her life to

depths of her home office, cranking out issue after icky issue of her
horror series, ANATHEMA!
