A few months back, I interviewed Jake Tri and Andy Sciazko, the pair behind the upcoming short horror story book “Nightmare Soup“, which is heavily influenced, both in stories as well as illustrations, by the Schwartz & Gammell series “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”. Coming later this month, “Nightmare Soup” will feature 30 stories, “…twisted, original, and entertaining stories…for both kids AND adults,” per Tri.
With the release just around the corner, we got our hands on two unreleased images, one titled “Smiley” and the other “The End”. Both show off that scratchy, almost melted illustration style of Sciazko, who clearly has a lot of love for Gammell. They’re wonderfully illustrated and gruesomely eye-catching.
