He lives in Florida with his wife, Rebecca, and their French Bulldog, Luna.

This suffers from the same problem many anthologies have. A bit of a difference between a great story and a average one all put together.
But all in all, there were many more great stories here than mare average.
I liked this very much, sweet collection, quite imaginative in delivering lots of different horrible thingies:)

The house of horrors is a awesome anthology comic. It gives you the thrill you need and very graphic images and very different stories. It even includes about three written short stories that will blow your mind just as thecomic would. This collection of short stories is very well written, and the artwork is extremely amazing. Some stories just have a catchy and chilling ending to them.
I give a 4.5

This is a lot of fun if you like some gruesome fun.

Nuff said

[Penguin · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the ilustrations and two of the stories, but the stories lacked the simplest factor known as fright. It is really frustarating because you can see the authors trying.

Decent creepy stories

[Andrew · Rating 1 out of 5]

The only reason I even rated this was because of the artwork. The art is beautiful, but 80% of the writing in it is terrible. I only enjoyed one story in this, and that was 'The Basement'.
