The Crossroads at Midnight

Written by: Abby Howard

First line: What's it like with the old farmer?

Why you should read this book: As a huge fan of the author's Junior Scientist Power Hour and The Last Halloween webcomics, I was thrilled to discover that Abby Howard has published a devilishly inventive 350-page book comprising five freaky horror comics. With artwork that transcends the more cartoonish images of some of her earlier work, these legitimately spooky comics pull no punches—even children aren't safe from the various monsters that inhabit these detailed black-and-white worlds—and deliver true terror, often from unexpected directions, and occasionally, a drop of compassion. There's no telling what the outcome might be when you befriend a fiend, but if scary stories and dark comics get you going, this collection is highly recommended. 

Why you shouldn't read this book: You are easily disturbed and all alone.
