Price, ELLERY QUEEN artist and CASE OF THE BLOOD RED STARS author-illustrator Mark Evan Walker, and co-scenarist Lawrence Adam Shell. Based upon Irvin S. Cobb's classic Southern Gothic. A generous selection of bonus tracks draws from Mike Price's COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD and SOUTHERN-FRIED HOMICIDE series. These freak-show yarns range from the pre-Code 1950s to the postmodern underground-comix scene of the 1990s, including Price \u0026amp; Walker's carney tales \"Bally o' the Beast\" and \"Earth vs. the Sharktopus.\" Not to mention Price's historical survey of freaks in cinema and John Wooley \u0026amp; Mike Price's study of the carney film SHE FREAK, resurrected from the pages of FANGORIA magazine. Says Guillermo del Toro of FISHHEAD: \"Severe perversity, impregnated with that spooky Southern Gothic Spirit... Moving, grotesque, and unforgiving.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rondo Award-nominated author of \"Carnival of Souls\" (2009), Michael H.
