Party @ Horror Beach
Yes, as a matter of fact, I did have to use the ampersand in the title. As for this book, it’s always a treat to get something from somebody I like quite a bit after a few years, and Robin was nice enough to send a few books along, so he should be updated again over the next month or so. This is a collection of stories loosely related to horror and/or Halloween. First up is the tale of Crinkleman who is, clearly, a killer that comes out of the mirror and smothers you in your sleep. Next is the story that takes up the bulk of the book, Trapped In The Closet, which deals with Robin making out with a girl who is engaged while her fiancee is at the party in another room. He’s not depicted as a total asshole, as he does have some moral issues with it… until he’s good and drunk. Then there’s the story of a girl who waited far too long to go to the dentist, although she did at least get a gold tooth out of the whole thing (spoiler alert!). Finally Robin tells us all about a recurring dream he had as a kid about fictional Nintendo games and how that dream has changed as he’s gotten older. A pretty solid bunch of stories, as per usual from Robin, but nothing that really blew me away. Could it be that I like his longer stories better? It could be, and it could be that the other comics he sent may give me a chance to test that theory…
