Monster Carnival tells the tale of a parade of frightful creatures who receive a tithe from the villages of a land that seeks to gaze upon their abhorrence with wide-eyed wonder; and hear the those stories of their abominable brethren from the dim memory of antiquity, and unto the future days of mankind. What unfolds is a series of fables that explore the many facets of monsters and how they inform our own worst and most virtuous traits. For in the end there truly is no happy ending for a monster and we must always be cautious in our desire to learn more about these darkest of creatures.Splattered Press has gathered together a dozen very talented comic book creators their own stories about these things that so preoccupy our collective imaginations in this first volume of the Apologue Anthology Series.
