Creepshow is a comic book collection of five horror stories written by Stephen King and illustrated by Bernie Wrightson, adapted from the 1982 film. They include a dead father who returns for his Father's Day cake, a farmer who turns into a plant after touching a meteorite, a husband who buries his wife's lover in the sand, a creature in a crate under the stairs, and a man who is overwhelmed by cockroaches. Each story is told in the style of old horror comics.
It is for fans of King and of vintage horror comics who like gory, darkly funny tales. It suits readers who want a short, visual read.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
