"Coming Soon: Emptiness" gives a very brief snapshot of apocalyptic happenings and gets out very quickly. It reminds me of The Sandman's "24 hours" story, this open window to a world gone to hell but not the full picture of what's gone wrong.

I developed a delayed appreciation for "The Maiden of Crete." It took a minute, but I've come to like how densely this one page story manages to fill itself out with interesting and eerie implications with short descriptions.

Killer Smile is all around such a unique arc in Concrete, another demonstration of the series' and character's simultaneously versatility and ability to anchor itself to something so utterly different.

"The Dictator's Dream" is the first really great of these 100 Horrors stories. It feels very Twilight Zone/Outer Limits-esque in how the surreal, abstract subject matter holds heavy social commentary. It's great, really.

sigh another 5 dollar scratcher please

While "Jack O' Fingers" is a fun, concise and freakish little horror concept, I couldn't stop thinking about the possibility that Paul Chadwick was trying to do like a morbid parody of Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin.

I hate to keep saying "in a good way" but I mean it when I say there's a juvenile quality to the story with visuals that feel dreamed out of a kid's imagination. It's very appropriate that it ends with the implication that it was all a student's daydreaming. Fun little tale all around. 🧵 End.

"The Ugly Boy" kind of feels like a story aimed at a younger audience, in a good way. We're now at something a bit more substantial than a one page story, and it's pretty fun and honestly sillier than scary.🧵

One of Tom Adams' Raymond Chandler novel covers, maybe, collectively, his crowning achievement.

Now we begin Paul Chadwick's included "100 Horrors" short story series. Starting with a single page, he hits the ground running a body horror born out overthinking worse case scenarios. It makes literal the idea of it being like a plague.

Just a nice short story all around, and it even features Ron's trademark overthinking by the end just to make for a good joke to tie the tale together. I may give this a reread around the holiday season.🧵 end

The little glimpses into Larry's home life are relatable, with characters getting to exhibit recognizable mannerisms and behaviors despite not getting alot of actual dialogue to work with. It helps to also give Ron a good scene where he stands up for Larry, it's nice.🧵

Alot of that definitely comes from Ron's internal narration. His sentimentality and ability to capture the specific emotions the holidays invoke really just sort of transports you there. It's sweet, like the reading equivalent to a nice warm blanket.🧵
