Neil Gaiman's Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire #[nn]

This 2017 Dark Horse collection presents Neil Gaiman's celebrated short story, originally published in 2004, in a graphic novel adaptation illustrated by Shane Oakley. The tale follows a frustrated writer in a Gothic world of vampires, ghosts, and other macabre tropes who yearns to write something more mundane, leading to a metafictional twist on genre conventions. The volume includes the complete adaptation along with supplementary material such as the original prose story and an introduction by Gaiman.
